pw kube token

pw kube token

Token to authenticate with the Kubernetes API

Synopsis

The pw kube token command prints a short-lived Kubernetes API token for a cluster, wrapped in the ExecCredential JSON that kubectl exec plugins expect.

It trades your CLI credential for an ID token for the cluster through the OAuth token exchange (RFC 8693) at the platform's token endpoint. kubectl keeps the token only in memory, so each kubectl command runs this again; a long-running client reuses it until its expirationTimestamp.

pw kube auth installs this command as the exec plugin in your kubeconfig, so kubectl runs it for you; you rarely need to run it directly.
