Kubeconfig

Kubernetes components like kubelet, kube-controller-manager, or kubectl use the kubeconfig file to interact with the Kubernetes API. Usually, the kubectl or oc commands use the kubeconfig file.

The kubeconfig file's default location for kubectl or oc is the ~/.kube directory. Instead of using the full kubeconfig name, the file is just named config. The default location of the kubeconfig file is ~/.kube/config. There are other ways to specify the kubeconfig location, such as the KUBECONFIG environment variable or the kubectl --kubeconfig parameter.

The kubeconfig file is a YAML file containing groups of clusters, users, and contexts.

• A cluster is a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster.
• A user is a credential used to interact with the Kubernetes API.
• A context is a combination of a cluster and a user. Every time you execute an oc or kubectl command, you reference a context inside kubeconfig.
