Cluster Access

Access Mode

  • kubectl: You need to download and configure the kubectl and kubeconfig configuration files first, and then use kubectl to access a Kubernetes cluster. For details, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl.
  • EIP: You can bind an EIP to the cluster API server. Then, the cluster API server can access the public network.
    • This operation will restart kube-apiserver and update the cluster access certificate (kubeconfig). Do not perform any operations on the cluster during this time.

Authentication

CCE Autopilot allows you to download the X509 certificate, which contains the client.key, client.crt, and ca.crt files. Keep your certificate secure.

For details about how to use a certificate to access clusters, see Connecting to a Cluster Using an X.509 Certificate.
