metaplay get kubeconfig ENVIRONMENT [AUTH_PROVIDER] [flags]

Get the Kubernetes KubeConfig for accessing the target environment's cluster.

The KubeConfig can be generated with two different credential handling types:

• dynamic: Uses the Metaplay CLI to fetch fresh credentials when needed (recommended for human users)
• static: Embeds static credentials in the KubeConfig (recommended for CI/CD pipelines)

If no type is specified, it defaults to:

• dynamic for human users (logged in with refresh token)
• static for machine users (logged in with access token only)

The KubeConfig can be written to a file using the --output flag, or printed to stdout if not specified.

The default auth provider is 'metaplay'. If you have multiple auth providers configured in your 'metaplay-project.yaml', you can specify the name of the provider you want to use with the argument AUTH_PROVIDER.

Expected arguments:

• ENVIRONMENT (optional) -- Target environment name or id, eg, 'lovely-wombats-build-nimbly'.
• AUTH_PROVIDER (optional) -- Name of the auth provider to use. Defaults to 'metaplay'.

Examples

# Get KubeConfig for environment nimbly with dynamic credentials
metaplay get kubeconfig nimbly --type=dynamic
# Get KubeConfig with static credentials and save to a file
metaplay get kubeconfig nimbly --type=static --output=kubeconfig.yaml
# Get KubeConfig with default credentials type (based on user type)
metaplay get kubeconfig nimbly
# Get KubeConfig using a custom auth provider
metaplay get kubeconfig nimbly my-auth-provider
