Cloud Cluster Connector

Overview

Connect to cloud Kubernetes clusters:

• Azure AKS: az aks get-credentials --resource-group ... --name ...
• Google GKE: gcloud container clusters get-credentials ...
• Oracle OKE: oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig ...
• Switch context: kubectl config use-context ...
• Verify: kubectl get nodes
• Ask before switching: "Switch to [cloud] cluster?"

Pre-execution

Before connecting, verify: "Switch to [cloud] cluster?"

Post-execution

Validate connection with kubectl get nodes command

Implementation Guidelines

1. Azure AKS Connection

• Use az aks get-credentials command to connect to AKS cluster
• Specify resource group and cluster name
• Verify credentials are stored in kubeconfig
• Check cluster access permissions

2. Google GKE Connection

• Use gcloud container clusters get-credentials command
• Specify cluster name, zone, and project
• Verify credentials are properly configured
• Test access to GKE cluster

3. Oracle OKE Connection

• Use oci ce cluster create-kubeconfig command
• Specify cluster OCID and output location
• Verify kubeconfig is properly formatted
• Test connectivity to OKE cluster

4. Context Management

• Switch to appropriate context with kubectl config use-context
• Verify current context with kubectl config current-context
• Save original context before switching if needed
• Manage multiple contexts efficiently

5. Connection Validation

• Run kubectl get nodes to verify cluster connectivity
• Check node status and readiness
• Verify cluster capacity and resources
• Confirm access permissions are sufficient

6. Safety Checks

• Always ask for confirmation before switching contexts
• Warn about potential impacts of context switching
• Verify cluster stability before performing operations
• Document current context state before and after switching
