Proxy API

Start the proxy:

1kubectl proxy &

Then curl the API server:

1curl http://localhost:8001

Create a token:

1export TOKEN=$(kubectl create token default)
2
3kubectl create clusterrole api-access-root \
4  --verb=get --non-resource-url=/*
5
6kubectl create clusterrolebinding api-access-root \
7  --clusterrole api-access-root --serviceaccount=default:default

Retrieve the API Server endpoint:

1export APISERVER=$(kubectl config view | grep https | \
2  cut -f 2- -d ":" | tr -d " ")

Confirm that the APISERVER variable stored the same IP as the Kubernetes control plane IP by issuing the following two commands and comparing their outputs:

1echo $APISERVER
2
3https://192.168.99.100:8443
4
5kubectl cluster-info

We can also get the certs straight from the list in ~/.kube/config.
