Quick Start with EKS
Manage your EKS clusters with Meshery. Deploy Meshery in EKS in-cluster or outside of EKS out-of-cluster. Note: It is advisable to Install Meshery in your EKS clusters
Prerequisites
- Install the Meshery command line client, mesheryctl.
- Install kubectl on your local machine.
- Install AWS CLI, configured for your environment.
- Access to an active EKS cluster in AWS Account.

Available Deployment Methods
In-cluster Installation
Follow the steps below to install Meshery in your EKS cluster.
Prerequisites: Cluster Connectivity
- Verify your connection to an Elastic Kubernetes Services Cluster using AWS CLI.
- Login to AWS account using aws configure, if you are using a different method of authentication in AWS, please refer to AWS documentation.
- After successful login, set the cluster context.
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name [YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME] --region [YOUR_REGION]
- Optional: If you are using
eksctl
, follow the AWS documentation steps. - Verify your kubeconfigβs current context.
kubectl config current-context
Installation: Using mesheryctl
Use Mesheryβs CLI to streamline your connection to your EKS cluster. Configure Meshery to connect to your EKS cluster by executing:
$ mesheryctl system config eks
Once configured, execute the following command to start Meshery.
$ mesheryctl system start
Installation: Using Helm
For detailed instructions on installing Meshery using Helm V3, please refer to the Helm Installation guide.
Post-Installation Steps
Optionally, you can verify the health of your Meshery deployment, using mesheryctl system check.
Youβre ready to use Meshery! Open your browser and navigate to the Meshery UI.
After successfully deploying Meshery, you can access Mesheryβs web-based user interface. Your default browser will be automatically opened and directed to Meshery UI (default location is http://localhost:9081).
You can use the following command to open Meshery UI in your default browser:
mesheryctl system dashboard
If you have installed Meshery on Kubernetes or a remote host, you can access Meshery UI by exposing it as a Kubernetes service or by port forwarding to Meshery UI.
mesheryctl system dashboard --port-forward
Depending upon how you have networking configured in Kubernetes, alternatively, you can use kubectl to port forward to Meshery UI.
kubectl port-forward svc/meshery 9081:9081 --namespace meshery
Customizing Meshery Provider Callback URL
Customize your Meshery Provider Callback URL. Meshery Server supports customizing authentication flow callback URL, which can be configured in the following way:$ MESHERY_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL=https://custom-host mesheryctl system start
Meshery should now be running in your Kubernetes cluster and Meshery UI should be accessible at the `EXTERNAL IP` of `meshery` service.
Production deployments are recommended to access Meshery UI by setting up a reverse proxy or by using a LoadBalancer.
Log into the Provider of your choice.
Out-of-cluster Installation
Out-of-cluster EKS deployments not currently supported
Install Meshery on Docker (out-of-cluster) and connect it to your EKS cluster.
Install Meshery on Docker
$ mesheryctl system start -p docker
Configure Meshery to connect to your cluster by executing:
$ mesheryctl system config eks
Once you have verified that all the services are up and running, Meshery UI will be accessible on your local machine on port 9081. Open your browser and access Meshery at http://localhost:9081
