KubeSwitcher Plugin: Kind

This is a plugin for the kubeswitcher tool that allows to switch between clusters created via kind.

Installation

Homebrew

brew install kw_kind

Manual Build

Clone the repository (including the submodule) and run

task install

[!NOTE] This project uses task instead of make.

Configuration

The plugin takes a small configuration in the kubeswitcher config. It can be completely defaulted, if missing.

<...>
- name: kind # under which kw subcommand this plugin will be reachable
  short: "Switch to kind clusters" # short message for display in 'kw --help'
  binary: kw_kind # name of or path to the plugin binary
  config:
    binary: kind # path to the kind binary (has to be in $PATH if specified without any path separators) (optional, defaults to 'kind')

Usage

Examples (assuming the plugin was registered with name kind):

• kw kind foo
  • Sets the kubeconfig to target the kind cluster with name foo. No-op, if this cluster is already targeted.
• kw kind foo --reload
  • Sets the kubeconfig to target the kind cluster with name foo. Reloads the kubeconfig even if 'foo' is already targeted.
• kw kind --reload
  • Reloads the kubeconfig for the currently targeted kind cluster.
  • Fails if the current kubeconfig was not set via kw kind.
• kw kind
  • Prompts the user to choose one of the existing kind clusters.
