I am configuring an EKS cluster using terraform in a private subnet and trying to access it using a VPN in a public subnet. When I configured it, it works fine but now when I run kubectl get pods or kubectl get svc, it is throwing an error:

error: exec plugin: invalid apiVersion "client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1"

I don't know why it is happening. Please reply if you the solution.

Thanks

It's broken with kubectl version 1.24. Downgrade to 1.23.6 will fix the issue for now

sudo apt install kubectl=1.23.6-00

If you're experiencing this issue with GitHub actions and kodermax/kubectl-aws-eks, configure fixed versions for KUBECTL_VERSION and IAM_VERSION for each deployment step.

  - name: deploy to cluster
    uses: kodermax/kubectl-aws-eks@master
    env:
      KUBE_CONFIG_DATA: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG_DATA_STAGING }}
      ECR_REGISTRY: ${{ steps.login-ecr.outputs.registry }}
      ECR_REPOSITORY: my-app
      IMAGE_TAG: ${{ github.sha }
      KUBECTL_VERSION: "v1.23.6"
      IAM_VERSION: "0.5.3"
