Configuring kubectl

kubectl is a command line tool for Kubernetes clusters. You can install kubectl on any node and run kubectl commands to perform operations on your Kubernetes cluster.

For details about how to install kubectl, see Connecting to a Cluster Using kubectl. After connection, run the kubectl cluster-info command to view the cluster information. The following shows an example:

# kubectl cluster-info
Kubernetes master is running at https://*.*.*.*:5443
CoreDNS is running at https://*.*.*.*:5443/api/v1/namespaces/kube-system/services/coredns:dns/proxy

To further debug and diagnose cluster problems, use 'kubectl cluster-info dump'.
