No more logging in and being dumped into the default namespace. Remember in the previous post where we talked about namespaces and how we could logically separate our Kubernetes cluster? Now we can use KUBECONFIG and context to set our default namespaces. So a context would include a cluster, a user and a namespace.

Lastly, the KUBECONFIG file stores contexts.Д¬ontexts group access information under an easily recognizable name. It also stores authentication information such as username/passwords, certificates or tokens. The KUBECONFIG file contains several things of interest including the cluster information so that kubectl is executing commands on the correct cluster. This is why you wouldвЂ™ve needed to add this file to your $PATH variable so that it could be used correctly by the kubectl commands.

When you use kubectl to execute commands, it gets the correct communication information from this KUBECONFIG file. This is the KUBECONFIG file and it is used to store information about your connection to the Kubernetes cluster. When you first setup your Kubernetes cluster you created a config file likely stored in your $HOME/.kube directory. This might be a good time to introduce Kubernetes KUBECONFIG files and context so you can more easily use all of these different resources. The following example creates a resource group named myResourceGroup in the eastus location.Д¬reate a resource group using the az group create command.YouвЂ™ve been working with Kubernetes for a while now and no doubt you have lots of clusters and namespaces to deal with now.

Where your resources will run in Azure if you don't specify another region during resource creation.

The storage location of your resource group metadata.

When you create a resource group, you are prompted to specify a location. Create a resource groupДЄn Azure resource group is a logical group in which Azure resources are deployed and managed. Run the commands with administrative privileges if you plan to run the commands in this quickstart locally instead of in Azure Cloud Shell. If they are not registered, register Microsoft.OperationsManagement and Microsoft.OperationalInsights using the following commands: az provider register -namespace Microsoft.OperationsManagementДЄz provider register -namespace Microsoft.OperationalInsights

Kubectl list contexts registration#

To check the registration status, run the following commands: az provider show -n Microsoft.OperationsManagement -o tableДЄz provider show -n Microsoft.OperationalInsights -o table These are Azure resource providers required to support Container insights. Verify Microsoft.OperationsManagement and Microsoft.OperationalInsights providers are registered on your subscription. If you have multiple Azure subscriptions, select the appropriate subscription ID in which the resources should be billed using the For more details on access and identity for AKS, see Access and identity options for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). The identity you are using to create your cluster has the appropriate minimum permissions. If using Azure Cloud Shell, the latest version is already installed. This article requires version 2.0.64 or later of the Azure CLI.

Kubectl list contexts upgrade#

To upgrade to the latest version, run az upgrade. Run az version to find the version and dependent libraries that are installed. For more information about extensions, see Use extensions with the Azure CLI.

Kubectl list contexts install#

When you're prompted, install the Azure CLI extension on first use. For other sign-in options, see Sign in with the Azure CLI. To finish the authentication process, follow the steps displayed in your terminal. If you're using a local installation, sign in to the Azure CLI by using the az login command.

For more information, see How to run the Azure CLI in a Docker container. If you're running on Windows or macOS, consider running Azure CLI in a Docker container. If you prefer to run CLI reference commands locally, install the Azure CLI. For more information, see Azure Cloud Shell Quickstart - Bash. Use the Bash environment in Azure Cloud Shell. To learn more about creating a Windows Server node pool, see Create an AKS cluster that supports Windows Server containers.

If you don't have an Azure subscription, create an Azure free account before you begin. For more information, see Kubernetes core concepts for Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).
