# EKS Cluster with public or public/private access point

Follow the instructions [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/create-kubeconfig.html) to connect to your EKS cluster. For example, you can configure the AWS CLI to use the credentials of the IAM User who created the EKS Cluster and update the kubeconfig file in the local machine as below:

```sh
aws configure
aws eks update-kubeconfig --region <eks-region> --name <eks-cluster-name>
```
