Hi Guys,

I have created one GKE Cluster on GCP Cloud. I want to get the credentials of this cluster from the command line. How can I get that?

Hi@akhtar,

After creating your cluster, you need to get authentication credentials to interact with the cluster. You can use the below command to get your cluster credentials.

$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials cluster-name

This command configures kubectl to use the cluster you created.
