A Kubernetes cluster consists of a control plane plus a set of worker machines, called Nodes, that run containerized applications. Every cluster needs at least one worker node in order to run Pods.
The worker node(s) host the Pods that are the components of the application workload. The control plane manages the worker nodes and the Pods in the cluster. In production environments, the control plane usually runs across multiple computers and a cluster usually runs multiple nodes, providing fault-tolerance and high availability.
To use the Kubernetes connector, ensure the following requirements are met:
1.Kubernetes API URL and Access Token: You need the API endpoint (URL) and an access token with the necessary permissions to interact with the Kubernetes cluster.
oIf you already have this information, proceed with the setup.
oIf you don't, contact your Kubernetes cluster administrator to obtain the API URL and a valid access token.
2.SSL Certificates (if applicable): If your cluster uses SSL/TLS for secure communication, ensure you have the necessary certificates.
oIn some environments, you may need to request these from the administrator, or determine whether certificate validation should be disabled (only recommended for development environments).
3.Namespace Permissions: Ensure that the access token you're using has sufficient permissions to interact with the necessary namespaces.
oIf you're unsure, verify with your administrator or request expanded permissions if required.
