pydo.kubernetes.get_kubeconfig()

Generated on 25 November 2024 from pydo version v0.6.0

Description

This endpoint returns a kubeconfig file in YAML format. It can be used to connect to and administer the cluster using the Kubernetes command line tool, kubectl, or other programs supporting kubeconfig files (e.g., client libraries).

The resulting kubeconfig file uses token-based authentication for clusters supporting it, and certificate-based authentication otherwise. For a list of supported versions and more information, see “How to Connect to a DigitalOcean Kubernetes Cluster”.

To retrieve a kubeconfig file for use with a Kubernetes cluster, send a GET request to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/$K8S_CLUSTER_ID/kubeconfig.

Clusters supporting token-based authentication may define an expiration by passing a duration in seconds as a query parameter to /v2/kubernetes/clusters/$K8S_CLUSTER_ID/kubeconfig?expiry_seconds=$DURATION_IN_SECONDS. If not set or 0, then the token will have a 7 day expiry. The query parameter has no impact in certificate-based authentication.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description	Default Value
`cluster_id`	string	True	A unique ID that can be used to reference a Kubernetes cluster.
`expiry_seconds`	integer	False	The duration in seconds that the returned Kubernetes credentials will be valid. If not set or 0, the credentials will have a 7 day expiry.	0

Request Sample

import os
from pydo import Client

client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))

resp = client.kubernetes.get_kubeconfig(cluster_id="da8fda8")
