[associated environment](#setting-the-environment-scope) to this cluster.
- **API URL** (required) -
It's the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes
exposes several APIs, we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them,
e.g., `https://kubernetes.example.com` rather than `https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1`.
- **CA certificate** (optional) -
If the API is using a self-signed TLS certificate, you'll also need to include
the `ca.crt` contents here.
- **CA certificate** (requried) - A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to authenticate to the EKS cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
- List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
`default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- Get the certificate by running this command:
```sh
kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
```
- **Token** -
GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
scoped to a particular `namespace`.

1. Create a `gitlab` service account in the `default` namespace:
1. Create a file called `eks-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
```bash
kubectl create -f - <<EOF
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: gitlab
namespace: default
EOF
name: eks-admin
namespace: kube-system

1. Create a cluster role binding to give the `gitlab` service account
`cluster-admin` privileges:
2. Apply the service account to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl create -f - <<EOF
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-service-account.yaml
```
Output:
```bash
serviceaccount "eks-admin" created
```
3. Create a file called `eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml` with contents:
```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1

4. Apply the cluster role binding to your cluster:
```bash
kubectl apply -f eks-admin-cluster-role-binding.yaml

Output:
```bash

5. Retrieve the token for the `eks-admin` service account:
```bash
kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep eks-admin | awk '{print $1}')

Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:

NOTE: **Note:**
For GKE clusters, you will need the
`container.clusterRoleBindings.create` permission to create a cluster
