Question

Admins-MacBook-Pro:~ Harshin$ kubectl cluster-info Kubernetes master is running at http://localhost:8080

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'. error: the server doesn't have a resource type "services"

i am following this document

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/getting-started.html?refid=gs_card

I have faced a similar issue, however this is not a direct solution but workaround. Use AWS cli commands to create cluster rather than console. As per documentation, the user or role which creates cluster will have master access.

aws eks create-cluster --name <cluster name> --role-arn <EKS Service Role> --resources-vpc-config subnetIds=<subnet ids>,securityGroupIds=<security group id>

Make sure that EKS Service Role has IAM access(I have given Full however AssumeRole will do I guess).

The EC2 machine Role should have eks:CreateCluster and IAM access. Worked for me :)
