Connecting the `kn` Client to your cluster
The kn
Client uses your kubectl
client configuration, the kubeconfig file, to connect to your cluster. This file is usually automatically created when you create a Kubernetes cluster. kn
looks for your kubeconfig file in the default location of $HOME/.kube/config
.
For more information about kubeconfig files, see Organizing Cluster Access Using kubeconfig Files.
Using kubeconfig files with your platform
Instructions for using kubeconfig files are available for the following platforms:
- Amazon EKS
- Google GKE
- IBM IKS
- Red Hat OpenShift Cloud Platform
- Starting minikube writes this file (or gives you an appropriate context in an existing configuration file).
