- DESCRIPTION
-
(BETA)
gcloud beta container clusters get-credentials updates akubeconfig
file with appropriate credentials and endpoint information to pointkubectl
at a specific cluster in Google Kubernetes Engine.It takes a project and a zone as parameters, passed through by set defaults or flags. By default, credentials are written to
HOME/.kube/config
. You can provide an alternate path by setting theKUBECONFIG
environment variable. IfKUBECONFIG
contains multiple paths, the first one is used.This command enables switching to a specific cluster, when working with multiple clusters. It can also be used to access a previously created cluster from a new workstation.
By default, gcloud beta container clusters get-credentials will configure kubectl to automatically refresh its credentials using the same identity as gcloud. If you are running kubectl as part of an application, it is recommended to use application default credentials. To configure a
kubeconfig
file to use application default credentials, set the container/use_application_default_credentials Cloud SDK property to true before running gcloud beta container clusters get-credentialsSee https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/kubectl for kubectl documentation.
