This guide walks you through generating a kubeconfig for a Kubernetes Service Account using omnictl.

​
Prerequisites

To follow this guide, you must have:
Kubernetes Service Accounts authenticate to a Kubernetes cluster. If you need to authenticate to Omni itself, see Omni Service Accounts instead.

​
Create the Kubernetes service account kubeconfig

Run the following command to generate the kubeconfig: 
omnictl kubeconfig --service-account --cluster <cluster> --user <username> <path to kubeconfig>
Replace the placeholders with your own values:
  • <cluster>: The name of your cluster in Omni
  • <username>: Any username you want to assign to the service account
  • <path to kubeconfig>: The file path where the kubeconfig will be written
This creates a service account token with the specified username and writes a kubeconfig for the given cluster to the path you provided. You can then use this kubeconfig with kubectl as normal.
