gcloud alpha container attached clusters get-credentials - get credentials of an Attached cluster
gcloud alpha container attached clusters get-credentials (CLUSTER : --location=LOCATION) [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) Fetch credentials for a running Attached cluster.
This command updates a kubeconfig file with appropriate credentials and endpoint information to point kubectl at a specific Attached cluster.
By default, credentials are written to HOME/.kube/config. You can provide an alternate path by setting the KUBECONFIG environment variable. If KUBECONFIG contains multiple paths, the first one is used.
This command enables switching to a specific cluster, when working with multiple clusters. It can also be used to access a previously created cluster from a new workstation.
By default, the command will configure kubectl to automatically refresh its credentials using the same identity as the gcloud command-line tool. If you are running kubectl as part of an application, it is recommended to use application default credentials https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/production. To configure a kubeconfig file to use application default credentials, set the container/use_application_default_credentials Google Cloud CLI property https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/properties to true before running the command.
See https://cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/kubectl for kubectl documentation.

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. This variant is also available:
