Kubectl setup for non-administrators (AWS only)

Access Kubernetes configuration files without administrator privileges
This procedure is valid for AWS only. Variations for Azure and GCP are coming soon.
If you don't have administrator privileges, follow this procedure to access kubeconfig using the kubectl token. kubeconfig is a YAML file that stores cluster authentication information for kubectl.

Before beginning, refer to this Kubernetes article for instructions about how to update kubeconfig.
