gcloud container azure clusters get-credentials - get credentials of an Anthos cluster on Azure
gcloud container azure clusters get-credentials (CLUSTER : --location=LOCATION) [--private-endpoint] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
Fetch credentials for a running Anthos cluster on Azure.
This command updates a kubeconfig file with appropriate credentials and endpoint information to point kubectl at a specific Anthos cluster on Azure.
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.
