glab-cluster-agent-update-kubeconfig - Update your kubeconfig for use with a GitLab Agent for Kubernetes.

glab cluster agent update-kubeconfig [flags]

Configures kubectl to authenticate through the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes using an exec credential plugin.

  • Use --agent to specify the agent by its numeric ID.
  • Use --use-context to set the agent as the default kubectl context.
  • Use --token-expiry-duration to control how long the generated token is valid.
  • Use --cache-mode to control how generated tokens are cached.

-a, --agent=0 The numeric agent ID to create the kubeconfig entry for.

-c, --cache-mode="force-keyring" Mode to use for caching the token. Allowed values: keyring-filesystem-fallback, force-keyring, force-filesystem, no.

--check-revoked[=false] Check if a cached token is revoked. Requires an API call to GitLab, which adds latency every time a cached token is accessed.

--kubeconfig="" Use a particular kubeconfig file.

--token-expiry-duration=24h0m0s Duration for generated token's validity. Minimum is 1 day. Expires at end of day, and ignores time.

-u, --use-context[=false] Use as default context.

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
