I tried to use the CloudBees plugin for Kubernetes Cloud and I sucessfully created a lab using minicube where I could deploy Jenkins Agents, I would like to do the same with AWS EKS however when creating a new Kubernetes Cloud I am not able to use the AWS Credetials, it keeps on failing.  
I hope someone could give some help.  
Thank you so much.

Can you confirm your using th cloudbees kubernetes plugin and not the public open source one?

Can you give us any details like what the error is so we don’t have to guess?

Hi halkeye,  
to reproduce the error, you can try any latest version of Jenkins version, and yes I am using the cloudbees kubernetes plugin.  
So I basically add a new cloud, and in the credential section when I try to add the aws IAM user, the plugin cannot read the creadentials, however if you go the jenkins credentials they are there.  
Yes is order to use aws creadentials I am using the “CloudBees AWS Credentials” plugin.

please reach out to cloudbees then. Open source community cannot support a plugin they’ve not seen, cannot install, nor have access to the code to debug.
