I need to gain access to Kubernetes cluster in Azure on a Windows Server 2016 machine. I did not create the cluster but I am assigned as Global Admin in the Azure Account. I already made a successful login to the azure account, but not yet to the server. I already installed kubectl CLI in the machine. Now I need to access the cluster.

I have .kube/config, .ssh/id_rsa and .ssh/id_rsa.pub inside my C:\Users\Administrator folder. I have tried the ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa kubectluser@ourDNSname and I was able to access it. So my private key is good. But, I don't want to work inside the VM. My working directory is supposed to be inside the WinServer2016 machine. I should be able to kubectl get nodes and it must return me a table of the 3 VMs.

This is what happens though (AGAIN, the ssh to VM works, I can do the kubectl commands w/o problem inside the VM)

az acs kubernetes get-credentials --resource-group=myRGroup --name=myClusterName

returns

Authentication failed.

kubectl get nodes

returns

You must be logged in to the server

I can't use kubectl create or kubectl set image deployment because of this.

What do I need to do? What information do I need from the person and machine who/which created the cluster?

Edit:
