kubeconfig¶
kubeconfig
is a simple Python module for manipulating Kubernetes kubeconfig
files.
from kubeconfig import KubeConfig
conf = KubeConfig()
conf.set_context('new-context', cluster='other-cluster', user='my-user')
conf.use_context('new-context')
print(conf.view())
Example usage cases¶
- Generating configs for users
- Tooling that manages switching between multiple clusters or users
- Cycling credentials out in a config
- Updating CA cert entries in your config
How it works¶
Rather than re-implement and maintain the kubeconfig detection, selection, and
merging logic found in kubectl, this module calls on kubectl
to do the
config reading and writing.
This does make kubectl
a hard dependency for this module, but also ensures
behavior that is consistent with what you’d expect by using kubectl
directly.
