Credentials file

To access Kubernetes containers through Visual Studio Code or the command line utility kubectl, you need a local credentials file generated by Rancher.

The KubeConfig YAML file tells local applications how to access the Kubernetes cluster icekube.

• In Rancher:

  • click the button Download KubeConfig to download the file icekube.yaml

• In Linux:

  • save the file to ~/.kube/config
  • set file permissions with chmod 600 ~/.kube/config

• In Windows:

  • save the file to C:\Users\username\.kube\config
