Cannot connect to the EKS cluster after deploying with bitbucket and terraform

Question

when I deploy my EKS cluster in command line with terraform from my terminal . I have no problem the deployment goes very well I can connect to the cluster and execute commands like kubectl get svc .

However when I go through my bitbucket pipeline the deployment goes well but if I try to connect on command line to my EKS cluster to execute commands.

_ kubectl get svc
Unable to connect to the server: dial tcp: lookup 5078015BC6DAFAE1391368A19FC9.gr7.eu-central-1.eks.amazonaws.com on 192.168.43.1:53: no such host  

So i cheked DNS side on my VPC on EKS ec2 instance:

• I click on the vpc
• Action Edit DNS hostnames
• And i checked if DNS hostnames was enabled

It was activated.

thanks for your help and your advice

I created my cluster manually and was facing same issue, in my case the error was coming because of private cluster. I selected Private Cluster option while creating the cluster. If you can re-create the cluster with public access or use bastion host the error would be resolved. Hope it helps, thanks EKS Cluster Setup
