## Test the deployment

* **Important**\
  You must run these steps from a network that has access to the Kubernetes API, as configured by the **Amazon EKS public access endpoint** and **Kubernetes API public access CIDR** parameters. For more information, see [Installing kubectl](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/install-kubectl.html) in the **Amazon EKS User Guide**. If you enabled the optional bastion host, you can connect to it by using SSH. Use the key pair that you specified during deployment and the IP address from the **Outputs** tab of the AWS CloudFormation stack. The bastion host already has `kubectl` installed and configured so that it connects to the cluster. To test the CLI, connect to the cluster, and run the command, shown in step 1.

## Troubleshoot

* **Note**\
  When you enable **Deactivate rollback on failed deployment**, you continue to incur AWS charges for the stack. Ensure that you delete the stack when you finish troubleshooting.
