How Can I Access a Cluster API Server?
You can use either of the following methods to access a cluster API server:
- (Recommended) Through the cluster API. This access mode uses certificate authentication. It is suitable for API calls on scale thanks to its direct connection to the API Server. This is a recommended option.
- Through API Gateway. This access mode uses token authentication. You need to obtain a toke using your account. This access mode applies to small-scale API calls. API gateway flow control may be triggered when APIs are called on scale.
