kconnect to

Reconnect to a connection history entry.

Synopsis

Reconnect to a cluster in the connection history by its entry ID or alias.

The kconnect tool creates an entry in the user’s connection history with all the connection settings each time it generates a new kubectl configuration context for a Kubernetes cluster. The user can then reconnect to the same cluster and refresh their access token or regenerate the kubectl configuration context using the connection history entry’s ID or alias.

The to command also accepts - or LAST as proxy references to the most recent connection history entry, or LAST~N for the Nth previous entry.

Although kconnect does not save the user’s password in the connection history, the user can avoid having to enter their password interactively by setting the KCONNECT_PASSWORD environment variable or the --password command-line flag. Otherwise kconnect will promot the user to enter their password.

kconnect to [historyid/alias/-/LAST/LAST~N] [flags]
