How to get kubernetes credentials for new Azure cluster?

Question

I deleted my old resource group with my k8s cluster, and made a new one and now kubectl can't get the new cluster's credentials.

When I run

>az acs kubernetes get-credentials --resource-group=myresourcegroup --name=mycluster   

    [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

I tried deleting my existing kube config file but got the same error. How can I connect kubectl with my new cluster?

Answer 1

I have got this error before, It seems does not install kubernetes CLI correctly. Please try this command to install CLI:

az acs kubernetes install-cli --install-location=C:\some\directory\kubectl.exe
