While deploying with ekscluster, you receive an error that it's unable to connect to the cluster, getting credentials expects v1alpha1 but gets v1beta1

Deploying with ekscluster outputs the following error:
unable to use kubectl with the EKS cluster (check 'kubectl version'): Unable to connect to the server: getting credentials: exec plugin is configured to use API version client.authentication.k8s.io/v1alpha1, plugin returned version client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1

As a workaround, when the cluster is done deploying, running this command will fix this:
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name eksworkshop-eksctl

The AWS CLI V2 was recently updated and the version for the credential API changed from v1alpha1 to v1beta1
