Konvoy DocumentationThis guide explains how to use the command line to interact with your newly-deployed Kubernetes cluster.
Before you start, make sure you have created a workload cluster, as described in Create a New Cluster.
Explore the new Kubernetes cluster
-
Get a kubeconfig file for the workload cluster:
When the workload cluster is created, the cluster lifecycle services generate a kubeconfig file for the workload cluster, and writes it to a Secret. The kubeconfig file is scoped to the cluster administrator.
Get the kubeconfig from the Secret, and write it to a file, using this command:
dkp get kubeconfig -c ${CLUSTER_NAME} > ${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf -
List the Nodes using the command:
kubectl --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf get nodesThe output appears similar to:
NAME STATUS ROLES AGE VERSION my-azure-cluster-control-plane-t6pzx Ready control-plane,master 8m17s v1.21.6 my-azure-cluster-md-0-hvg4b Ready <none> 6m17s v1.21.6NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the Status to move to
Readywhile the Pod network is deployed. The Node's Status should change to Ready soon after thecalico-nodeDaemonSet Pods are Ready. -
List the Pods using this command:
kubectl --kubeconfig=${CLUSTER_NAME}.conf get --all-namespaces podsThe output appears similar to:
