Creating the Service Account Kubeconfig

To create a service account kubeconfig, run the following command:

omnictl kubeconfig --service-account -c <cluster> --user <user> <path to kubeconfig>

Note

Replace <path to kubeconfig> with a path where the kubeconfig file should be written. Replace <cluster> with the name of the cluster in Omni. Replace <user> with any value you would like.
