<p>I created a cluster using kops.  It worked fine and the cluster is healthy.  I can see my nodes using kubectl and have created some deployments and services.  I tried adding a node using "kops edit ig nodes" and got an error "cluster  not found".  Now I get that error for all kops commands:</p>

<pre><code>kops validate cluster
Using cluster from kubectl context: &lt;clustername&gt;

cluster "&lt;clustername&gt;" not found
</code></pre>

<p>So my question is: where does kops look for clusters and how do I configure it to see my cluster.</p>

<p>My KOPS_STATE_STORE environment variable got messed up.  I corrected it to be the correct s3 bucket and everything is fine.</p>

<pre><code>export KOPS_STATE_STORE=s3://correctbucketname
</code></pre>
