Kube Get Config

Get config and exposed key

kubectl command vs /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml

• kubectl config view --raw is the command to get the current kube config in use by the kubectl CLI.
• /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml is the file where the kube config is stored when using k3s. This is the source of truth for our cluster configuration.

Taking the kube config from the kubectl command is not recommended as it may not reflect the actual configuration of the cluster.

so to update your local kube config for lens

# use this
cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml 

# instead of this
kubectl config view --raw

On local you can do

cat /etc/rancher/k3s/k3s.yaml > D:\.kube\config\local.yml
