Kubernetes Cluster

[Damien Gallagher]

Hi

When you create a kuberenetes cluster, you can specify  a master auth username and password.

When the cluster is created, you get an endpoint and a Cluster CA Cert

Using any of this information, is it possible to ssh or login to the cluster from the likes of putty or does all access have to be taken care off using the cloud console?

Thanks

Damien

Google Kubernetes Engine is a managed service and does not allow you to interact with the master node [1].

Since the nodes are run on GCE, You are able to connect to individual nodes of your cluster thought their individual IP’s

just like you would connect to an instance using putty [2].
