pw kube auth

pw kube auth

Set up cluster configuration

Synopsis

The pw kube auth command configures kubectl access to a platform Kubernetes cluster. It writes cluster, user, and context entries, named after the cluster with a pw# prefix, to your kubeconfig (~/.kube/config, or the file KUBECONFIG points to) and switches to the new context unless --no-context-switch is given.

The user entry authenticates through an exec plugin that runs pw kube token, so kubectl follows the CLI's current context and credentials.

Requires kubectl 1.22 or newer on your PATH. Run pw kube ls to list the clusters available to you.

pw kube auth <cluster> [flags]
