gcloud alpha container azure clusters get-credentials

NAME

gcloud alpha container azure clusters get-credentials - get credentials of an Anthos cluster on Azure

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha container azure clusters get-credentials (CLUSTER : --location=LOCATION) [--private-endpoint] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Fetch credentials for a running Anthos cluster on Azure.

This command updates a kubeconfig file with appropriate credentials and endpoint information to point kubectl at a specific Anthos cluster on Azure.

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, the command will configure kubectl to automatically refresh its credentials using the same identity as the gcloud command-line tool. If you are running kubectl as part of an application, it is recommended to use application default credentials. To configure a kubeconfig file to use application default credentials, set the container/use_application_default_credentials Google Cloud CLI property to true before running the command.

See https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/kubectl for kubectl documentation.

gcloud alpha container azure clusters get-credentials my-cluster --location=us-west1
