I have setup a cluster on AWS using kops. I want to connect to the cluster from my local machine.
I have to do cat ~/.kube/config, copy the content and replace it with my local kube config to access to the cluster.
The problem is that it expires after certain amount of time. Is there a way to get permanent access to the cluster?
Not sure if you can get permanent access to the cluster, but based on official kOps documentation you can just run kops update cluster command with --admin={duration} flag and set expire time to a very big value.
For example - let set it for almost 10 years:
kops update cluster {your-cluster-name} --admin=87599h --yesThen just copy as usual your config file to the client.
Based on official release notes, to back to the previous behaviour just use value 87600h.
