# Amazon EKS

> Connect Amazon EKS to xpander and give agents its 13 actions: how it signs in through the AWS Operator, and which actions to hold for approval.

<Badge color="blue">HTTP API connector</Badge>

An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go through xpander's function endpoint `https://functions.xpander.ai/aws-eks`, which fronts the Amazon EKS API, and carry a signature from the AWS Operator's IAM role in your cluster, so there is no key to paste.

## What the skill can do

API connector: 13 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 13 of them create, change or delete something in Amazon EKS; mark those under **These actions need approval** when you add the skill to an agent.

* **Workload observability** (5): Describe Ekscluster, List Eksclusters, List Ekspods, Search Ekslogs, Search Ekspod Logs
* **Issue diagnosis** (3): Correlate Eksresources, Diagnose Eksissue, Get Eksresource Events
* **Insight reporting** (2): Get Ekscluster Insights, List Eksinsights
* **Log analytics** (1): Get Ekspod Logs
* **Node observability** (1): List Eksnodes
* **Service observability** (1): List Eksservices

## Connect Amazon EKS

In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and search for **Amazon EKS**. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the **Organization** (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses).

Amazon EKS is served by the AWS Operator in your cluster and signs its calls with the pods' own AWS identity; there is no key to paste. The IAM setup is on [AWS Operator](/self-hosted/aws-operator).

Calls go to `https://functions.xpander.ai/aws-eks`.

## Give an agent the Amazon EKS skill

Once Amazon EKS is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Amazon EKS**. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills).
