Yeah, I'm assuming you're just calling kubectl directly underneath the hood. The way that aws-vault works is that you do something like: `aws-vault exec kubectl ...` or you can just do `aws-vault exec` and drop into a subshell. In both cases, a set of short-lived AWS credentials are exposed via the AWS-defined environment variables to the process (or shell context). The kubeconfig is then configured to handle authentication via AWS (rather than the default certificate method).

So, if you just straight-up call `kubectl` within XPipe without having AWS credentials already available, then it would fail. So, I'm guessing this wouldn't work.
