Problem scenario
You want to use Amazon EKS. You tried to run an "aws eks" command but got an error about the root user not being allowed to perform the operation. How do you create an IAM user account in AWS to run AWS CLI commands for EKS and log into the AWS web UI and view EKS clusters?
Solution
