Connect EKS with your environment

Create secret for access tokens.

Create a secret named dynakube for the Dynatrace Operator token and data ingest token obtained in Tokens and permissions required.
```
kubectl -n dynatrace create secret generic dynakube --from-literal="apiToken=<OPERATOR_TOKEN>" --from-literal="dataIngestToken=<DATA_INGEST_TOKEN>"
```
Apply the DynaKube custom resource

Monitoring with cloudNativeFullStack or appOnly (with CSI driver) is only supported for Dynatrace Operator version 0.15.0+.

Download the DynaKube custom resource sample for cloud-native, full-stack from GitHub. In addition, you can review the available parameters or how-to-guides, and adapt the DynaKube custom resource according to your requirements.

Run the command below to apply the DynaKube custom resource, making sure to replace <your-DynaKube-CR> with your actual DynaKube custom resource file name. A validation webhook will provide helpful error messages if there's a problem.
```
kubectl apply -f <your-DynaKube-CR>.yaml
```

optional Verify deployment

Verify that your DynaKube is running and all pods in your Dynatrace namespace are running and ready.

> kubectl get dynakube -n dynatrace
NAME         APIURL                                          STATUS     AGE
dynakube     https://<ENVIRONMENTID>.live.dynatrace.com/api  Running    45s

In a default DynaKube configuration, you should see the following pods:

> kubectl get pods -n dynatrace
