Eksctl: Kubectl throwing an error with connection refused

[murali741]

I have installed EKSCTL and created a cluster. It was working fine suddenly I am not able to execute kubectl commands

kubectl get svc
The connection to the server localhost:8080 was refused - did you specify the right host or port?

It is giving the above error. I check the config file it was good. Could you please help me with this

kubectl version

did you try to update kube config by running aws eks update-kubeconfig --name <cluster name> ?
