gcloud container azure clusters get-credentials(CLUSTER :--location=LOCATION)[--private-endpoint][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

This command updates a kubeconfig file with appropriate credentials and endpointinformation to point kubectl at a specific Anthos cluster on Azure.

By default, credentials are written toHOME/.kube/config. You can provide analternate path by setting theKUBECONFIGenvironment variable. IfKUBECONFIGcontains multiple paths, the first one is used.

This command enables switching to a specific cluster, when working with multipleclusters. It can also be used to access a previously created cluster from a newworkstation.

By default, the command will configure kubectl to automatically refresh itscredentials using the same identity as the gcloud command-line tool. If you arerunning kubectl as part of an application, it is recommended to useapplicationdefault credentials. To configure a kubeconfig file to use applicationdefault credentials, set thecontainer/use_application_default_credentialsGoogle Cloud CLIproperty totrue before running thecommand.
