How to have multiple kubernetes config and change quicky between them

Question

I am working with multiple Kubernetes clusters at Azure, so I need to change quickly from one cluster to another without having various files at my path C:\Users\username\.kube, because I have to rename or replace the file when I wish to change to other.

Answer 1

I suggest that you use the following tools and tricks:

• Use asdf to manage multiple kubectl versions
• Set the KUBECONFIG env var to change between multiple kubeconfig files
• Use kube-ps1 to keep track of your current context/namespace
• Use kubectx and kubens to change fast between clusters/namespaces
• Use aliases to combine them all together

Take a look at this article, it explains how to accomplish this: Using different kubectl versions with multiple Kubernetes clusters
