Configuring Jenkins To Deploy on AWS EKS

Question

I am trying to connect jenkins with the AWS EKS to create deployment pipelines. AWS using aws-iam-authenticator and jenkins-kubernetes plugin requires certificate and credentials to connect to the EKS Kubernetes cluster.

So far i haven't been able to figure out what to configure in credentials, i have tried service account but that didn't help.

Any help in the pointing to the documentation to achieve that would be highly helpful

You can follow the below URL for setting up your CI/CD for kubernetes just replace codebuild and codepipeline with jenkins and trigger the Lambda function from Jenkins itself.
