NAME
gcloud container clusters get-credentials - fetch credentials for a running
cluster
SYNOPSIS
gcloud container clusters get-credentials NAME [--internal-ip]
[--location=LOCATION | --region=REGION | --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE]
[GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud container clusters get-credentials updates a kubeconfig file with
appropriate credentials and endpoint information to point kubectl 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 the KUBECONFIG environment variable.
If KUBECONFIG 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 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
(https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production). To configure a
kubeconfig file to use application default credentials, set the
container/use_application_default_credentials Cloud SDK property
(https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/properties) to true before running
gcloud container clusters get-credentials
See
https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/cluster-access-for-kubectl
for kubectl usage with Google Kubernetes Engine and
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands for
available kubectl commands.
EXAMPLES
To switch to working on your cluster 'sample-cluster', run:
$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials sample-cluster \
--location=us-central1-f
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
Name of the cluster to get credentials for. Overrides the default
container/cluster property value for this command invocation.
FLAGS
--internal-ip
Whether to use the internal IP address of the cluster endpoint.
At most one of these can be specified:
--location=LOCATION
Compute zone or region (e.g. us-central1-a or us-central1) for the
cluster. Prefer using this flag over the --region or --zone flags.
--region=REGION
Compute region (e.g. us-central1) for a regional cluster.
--zone=ZONE, -z ZONE
Compute zone (e.g. us-central1-a) for a zonal cluster. Overrides the
default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
