A kubeconfig file is used to configure access to Kubernetes.
You can download the kubeconfig file:
You can download the kubeconfig file using configuration management tools such as IonosCTL CLI, Ansible, and Terraform. Following are a few options to retrieve the kubeconfig files.
| Tool | Parameter Reference | Description |
|---|---|---|
Note: If you do not want to use any tools like IonosCTL CLI, Ansible, or Terraform, you can retrieve the kubeconfig file directly from the Get Kubernetes Configuration File API using tools like cURL or Wget.
In the DCD, go to Menu > Containers > Managed Kubernetes.
In Kubernetes Manager, select a cluster from the cluster list.
In the Cluster Settings tab, select either kubeconfig.yaml or kubeconfig.json from the drop-down list to download the kubeconfig file.
Alternatively, you can also select the Kubernetes element in the Workspace and download the kubeconfig file in the Inspector pane.
Result: The kubeconfig file is successfully downloaded.

K8s Cluster Id
You can retrieve the kubeconfig file and save it using a single command from IonosCTL CLI. For more information, see example.
ionosctl k8s kubeconfig get --cluster-id CLUSTER_ID
k8s_cluster config_file
You can retrieve the kubeconfig by specifying the kubeconfig parameter in the Ansible YAML file.
For more information, see Kubernetes configuration.
filename
You can interact with the kubeconfig resources by providing proper configurations.
For more information, see Example of dumping the kubeconfig raw data into a yaml file.
