Learn to interact with your Kubernetes cluster
This guide explains how to use the command line to interact with your newly deployed Kubernetes cluster.
Before you start, make sure you have created a workload cluster, as described in Create a New Cluster.
Explore the new Kubernetes cluster
Get a kubeconfig file for the workload cluster:
When the workload cluster is created, the cluster lifecycle services generate a kubeconfig file for the workload cluster, and write it to a Secret. The kubeconfig file is scoped to the cluster administrator.
Get the kubeconfig from the Secret, and write it to a file, using this command:
CODEdkp get kubeconfig -c ${CLUSTER_NAME} > ${CLUSTER_NAME}.confList the Nodes using this command:
CODEkubectl --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf get nodesCODENAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION azure-example-control-plane-7ffnl Ready control-plane,master 6m18s v1.26.14 azure-example-control-plane-l4bv8 Ready control-plane,master 14m v1.26.14 azure-example-control-plane-n4g4l Ready control-plane,master 18m v1.26.14 azure-example-md-0-mpctb Ready <none> 15m v1.26.14 azure-example-md-0-qglp9 Ready <none> 15m v1.26.14 azure-example-md-0-sgrd6 Ready <none> 16m v1.26.14 azure-example-md-0-wzbkl Ready <none> 16m v1.26.14
NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the Status to move to Ready while the Pod network is deployed. The Nodes’ Status should change to Ready soon after the calico-node DaemonSet Pods are Ready.
3. List the Pods using this command:
CODE
kubectl --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf get --all-namespaces pods
