Kubeconfig

Kubernetes components like kubectl and kubelet use the same configuration format, referred to as kubeconfig files. These configuration files define:

• Clusters store the location of the cluster control plane endpoint and CA data.
• Users contain credentials for accessing Clusters.
• Namespaces set the default namespace to operate in, useful for working with different applications on the same cluster.
• Contexts define names for a combination of Cluster, User and Namespace which can be switched between.
