wf access cluster

wf access cluster

Provides short-lived access to a cluster accessible in your workspace

Synopsis

Provides kubectl access to a cluster and/or namespace in your workspace.

Choose a role representing the access you need to receive time-limited permission to perform activities against your namespace or cluster.

When this access expires simply re-run wf access cluster.

Run without any parameters to be prompted for all values.

wf access cluster [flags]

Examples


# General usage:
$ wf access cluster [clustername [namespacename]] [--role rolename]

# Get access as a namespace admin in a cluster:
$ wf access cluster clustername namespacename --role namespace.admin

# To be prompted for possible clusters, namespaces and roles, omit those
# parameters, e.g.:
$ wf access cluster
$ wf access cluster clustername

# Use kubectl after using $ wf access cluster, for example:
$ kubectl -n namespacename get pods

# Get access without changing your current kubectl context:
$ wf access cluster clustername namespacename --role namespace.admin --no-context-change
# With --no-context-change you must use the correct context with kubectl:
$ kubectl --context workspacename.clustername -n namespacename

# Using wf access cluster clustername namespacename --role rolename is
# equivalent to running these two commands:
$ wf assume rolename --cluster clustername --namespace namespacename
$ wf kubeconfig --cluster clustername --namespace namespacename
