Mohamed Ayman:
Are u asking about this?
mkdir -p $HOME/.kube
sudo cp -i /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf $HOME/.kube/config
sudo chown $(id -u):$(id -g) $HOME/.kube/config

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
@kanchana … Because you should able to run kubectl command from your account without switching to root account…

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
This is not compulsory

#5

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
You can run this command for any other account

#6

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
You can run for root also if you want to run kubectl command for root account

#7

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
This is simple

Basavraj Nilkanthe:
This is default location where kubectl read cluster, user and namespace information and identify current context…
