You can use aws eks update-kubeconfig command. However, you may need to update mapUsers on configMap/aws-auth for mapping userarn and Kubernetes roles.

kubectl edit -n kube-system configmap/aws-auth

aws eks update-kubeconfig --name <Clustername> --region=us-central-1 --profile <aws profile>

aws cli is used to create Kubernetes config (normally ~/.kube/config).

See details by: aws eks update-kubeconfig help
