HTTP Status Code: 400
- ResourceNotFoundException
-
The specified resource could not be found. You can view your available clusters with
ListClusters
. You can view your available managed node groups withListNodegroups
. Amazon EKS clusters and node groups are AWS Region specific.HTTP Status Code: 404
- ServerException

(AUTHPARAMS
) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4
signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature
Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon EKS General
Reference.
You need to learn how to sign HTTP requests only if you intend to manually
create them. When you use the AWS Command Line
Interface (AWS CLI)
