01 Setup Kubeconfig

To access a kubernetes cluster, you first need to have a kubeconfig file. This files is located in your home directory, in the .kube directory.

On your current machine, there is no kubeconfig file, so in the next few steps, we will copy it, using SCP, from the kubernetes host.

• Run

scp [email protected]:/home/ubuntu/.kube/config /home/ubuntu/.kube/config

• Type yes to Accept certificate
• Password VMware1!
