Introduction to kubeconfig
Kubernetes kubeconfig is a file used in Kubernetes to manage clusters. The command line tool kubectl is used to manage the configuration file. This file is used for authentication of the Kubernetes cluster and also interacts with the same. They are used to verify client certificates, passwords, etc. It is to be noted that the config file is stored in the yaml file. This is because we need to deal with clusters, contexts, and users. So in the yaml file, we can specify the hierarchy accordingly. The file is present in ~/.kube/config.
What is kubernetes kubeconfig ?
The container is a package that comprises code and libraries that are to be executed. Now to automate the deployment of Containers we need Kubernetes or K8s. Kubernetes or K8s is an open source that is used for the deployment of containers. It is a container orchestration platform that is used to automate the deployment of containers. They help to manage, schedule, and scale the applications. Kubernetes should be confused with cloud services. They are basically integrated with cloud services in order to generate comprehensive solutions.
If we go through the structure, Kubernetes basically makes use of clusters. Inside clusters there exists nodes or physical machines. Inside those physical machines are pods. Inside pods, there exist containers.
