kubectl config

Manage Kubernetes configuration (kubeconfig) files for accessing clusters via kubectl or the Kubernetes API. By default, the Kubernetes will get its configuration from ${HOME}/.kube/config. See also: kubectx, kubens. More information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#config.

  • Get all contexts in the default kubeconfig file:

kubectl config get-contexts

  • Get all clusters/contexts/users in a custom kubeconfig file:

kubectl config get-clusters|get-contexts|get-users --kubeconfig path/to/kubeconfig.yaml

  • Get the current context:

kubectl config current-context

  • Switch to another context:

kubectl config use|use-context context_name

  • Delete clusters/contexts/users:

kubectl config delete-cluster|delete-context|delete-user cluster|context|user

  • Permanently add custom kubeconfig files:

export KUBECONFIG="$HOME.kube/config:path/to/custom/kubeconfig.yaml" kubectl config get-contexts
