doctl-kubernetes-cluster: Fetch and save the kubeconfig.
$ doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

This command is used with the DigitalOcean Command Line Interface (doctl) tool to save the Kubernetes configuration file for a specific cluster.

Here's a breakdown of the components:

  • doctl: Refers to the doctl command-line tool for managing DigitalOcean resources.
  • kubernetes: Specifies that we want to perform actions related to Kubernetes.
  • cluster kubeconfig save: Indicates that we want to save the Kubernetes configuration file for a cluster.
  • ${cluster_name}: This is a placeholder for the actual name of the cluster you want to save the configuration for. You need to replace ${cluster_name} with the appropriate name.

In summary, by running this command and replacing ${cluster_name} with the name of your cluster, you can save the Kubernetes configuration file locally. This file contains information such as cluster endpoint, certificate authority data, and authentication details, allowing you to interact with the cluster using kubectl or other Kubernetes tools.
