Creating a Kubernetes connection​

To create the connection you need:
  • A bearer token
  • A Kubernetes API URL

​
Obtaining the credentials​

A connection can be based on a dedicated service account with specific permissions attached to it. To create a service account and fetch its login information, follow these instructions. A connection to a k8s cluster can only be achieved with proper networking configuration between the provided cluster and the runner in use.

​

  2. Select the Kubernetes icon. A dialog box with name of the connection and connection methods appears.

  4. Select Token as the method to make the connection.
