The commands under doctl kubernetes are for managing Kubernetes clusters and viewing configuration options relating to clusters.
A typical workflow is to use doctl kubernetes cluster create to create the cluster on DigitalOcean’s infrastructure, then call doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig to configure kubectl to connect to the cluster. You are then able to use kubectl to create and manage workloads.
The commands under doctl kubernetes options retrieve values used while creating clusters, such as the list of regions where cluster creation is supported.
