I recommend you check out this tool: kubectxwin

This is the Windows version of the kubectx tool which is the go-to for many to quickly change between clusters and namespaces within clusters.

You need to have all your kubernetes config files.

1.- Create a config file in the path C:\Users\username\.kube

2.- Get the data from every config file. For instance, 3 files one per environment (dev, qa, prod) so let's merge into one

Your file must looks like this:

apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: some_authority_01
    server: some_server_url_01
  name: some_cluster_name_01

- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: some_authority_02
    server: some_server_url_02
  name: some_cluster_name_02

- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: some_authority_03
    server: some_server_url_03
  name: some_cluster_name_03

contexts:
- context:
    cluster: some_cluster_name_01
    user: some_user_01
  name: some_cluster_name_01

- context:
    cluster: some_cluster_name_02
    user: some_user_02
  name: some_cluster_name_02

- context:
    cluster: some_cluster_name_03
    user: some_user_03
  name: some_cluster_name_03

current-context: some_cluster_name_01
kind: Config

preferences: {}
users:
- name: some_user_01
  user:
    client-certificate-data: some_certificate_01
    client-key-data: some_key_01
- name: some_user_02
  user:
    client-certificate-data: some_certificate_02
    client-key-data: some_key_02
- name: some_user_02
  user:
    client-certificate-data: some_certificate_03
    client-key-data: some_key_03

Note: the value of the current-context may vary, it isn't necessary that be the first cluster.

Adding the Shortcuts

3.- Add shortcuts for Windows 10 for changing kubernetes context quicky 3.1.- Create a file called Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 in the path C:\Users\username\Documents\WindowsPowerShell

3.2 Copy this data into the file that was recently created

function See-Contexts{kubectl config get-contexts}
Set-Alias -Name seec -Value See-Contexts


function change-context-01 { kubectl config use-context some_cluster_name_01}
Set-Alias -Name ctx01 -Value change-context-01

function change-context-02 { kubectl config use-context some_cluster_name_02}
Set-Alias -Name ctx01 -Value change-context-02

function change-context-03 { kubectl config use-context some_cluster_name_03}
Set-Alias -Name ctx01 -Value change-context-03

3.3.- Search PowerShell at search bar in in Windows and open the option RUN ISE as Administrator and open the file Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 and run the file.

With this solution you can easily change from kubernetes cluster using a shortcut. For example if you wanna change to the cluster some_cluster_name_01 you only need to type ctx01. This is useful when we have multiple kubernetes clusters.
