Giving others access to the cluster

Unless you're planning to be the only person in your organization with the access to the cluster, you'll need to create a kubectl configuration that you can distribute to your coworkers. Let's see the steps:

cd cluster
    
mkdir -p config
    
export KUBECONFIG=$PWD/config/kubecfg.yaml  

We went back to the cluster directory, created the sub-directory config, and exported KUBECONFIG variable with the path to the file where we'd like to store the configuration. Now we can execute kops export:

kops export kubecfg --name ${NAME}
    
cat $KUBECONFIG  

The output of the latter command is as follows:

apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: ...
    server: https://api-devops23-k8s-local-ivnbim-609446190.us-east-2.elb.amazonaws.com
