Push images into docker hub and deploy in aws cluster? - kubernetes

Question

I am trying to deploy my application into aws cluster as follows
Steps
Build image and push into docker hub (it is working)
Deploy the image into aws cluster (I couldn't make it work)
I searched in google, but couldn't find any solution.
Here is my GitHub workflow file
deploy.yml. Any help is appreciated to make it work.
# This is a basic workflow that is manually triggered
name: Deploy Manual

# or API.

Answer 1

I think I have found the issue, apparently, KUBE_CONFIG_DATA is invalid. Your entrypoint.sh in kodermax/kubectl-aws-eks#master image is trying to decode it, but can't and throwing the error.
#!/bin/sh
set -e
# Extract the base64 encoded config data and write this to the KUBECONFIG
echo "$KUBE_CONFIG_DATA" | base64 -d > /tmp/config
export KUBECONFIG=/tmp/config
sh -c "kubectl $*"
Please fix the KUBE_CONFIG_DATA, it must be in a valid base64 format. if you put raw kubeconfig file there, you may have to convert it to base64 format first.
