Helm EKS Action

A Github Action for executing Helm commands on EKS using the AWS CLI.
It can also run AWS, kubeclt and SOPs commands.

This action was inspired by helm-eks-action. We've adapted the action to allow for more granular control over the package versions installed.

Instructions

Use this as a Github Action step as follows:

• You have to authenticate against an AWS account to be able to access an EKS.
