Connecting the `kn` Client to your cluster

The kn Client uses your kubectl client configuration, the kubeconfig file, to connect to your cluster. This file is usually automatically created when you create a Kubernetes cluster. kn looks for your kubeconfig file in the default location of $HOME/.kube/config.

For more information about kubeconfig files, see Organizing Cluster Access Using kubeconfig Files.

Using kubeconfig files with your platform

Instructions for using kubeconfig files are available for the following platforms:

• Amazon EKS
• Google GKE
• IBM IKS
• Red Hat OpenShift Cloud Platform
• Starting minikube writes this file (or gives you an appropriate context in an existing configuration file).
