kubectl 正在尝试连接到 gcloud 而不是 docker 桌面

Question

My kubectl is connecting to GCP by default. I was trying few changes locally and deploying to Docker Desktop Kube.netes.

I remember it was working earlier. But recently when this is executed:

kubectl get pods

It gives-

WARNING: the gcp auth plugin is deprecated in v1.22+, unavailable in v1.25+; use gcloud instead. To learn more, consult https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/containers-kubernetes/kubectl-auth-changes-in-gke

Any clue how to fix this kubectl error and let it show Kube.netes stuffs from Docker Desktop also.

Answer 1

You need to install the gke-gcloud-auth-plugin to avoid this warning now and in the future to avoid errors.

The easiest way to install the plugin is as follows:

1- Update your Google Cloud SDK

gcloud components update

2- Install the plugin (if not already installed with the update)

gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin

---

Story behind this:

kubectl starting from version 1.25 will no longer have a built-in authentication mechanism for GKE and instead, you will have to install the mentioned plugin for kubectl to support authentication of GKE . Read the full details here .

Answer 2

I was able to solve it by switching the context to docker-desktop . Now it shows from Docker Desktop Kubernetes instead connecting to GCP.

kubectl config use-context docker-desktop

Answer 3

To avoid this warning message basically, you need to export gke gcloud auth plugin in.bashrc file

export USE_GKE_GCLOUD_AUTH_PLUGIN=True

Answer 4

It's your kubectl active context, you can use docker-desktop as your active context:

kubectl config use-context docker-desktop

You can also see other existing contexts

kubectl config get-contexts

And switch to them:

kubectl config use-context <context-name>
