From the Google Cloud Shell, when I run kubectl I am running it on the GKE cluster (cluster-1) from my previous project (my-project-1). I would like to run it on the gke cluster (cluster-2) in my new project (my-project-2).
How can I update my context to use the new cluster?
Here are the commands that work for me when I want to switch between clusters:
Check current cluster:
kubectl config current-context
Example output:
my-project-1_us-central1_cluster-1
Switch to a different cluster (replace $CLUSTER_NAME, $REGION, and $PROJECT_NAME with your values):
gcloud container clusters get-credentials $CLUSTER_NAME --region $REGION --project $PROJECT_NAME
Example:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials cluster-2 --region us-central1 --project my-project-2
Confirm you have switched clusters by re-running the current-context command
kubectl config current-context
Example output:
my-project-2_us-central1_cluster-2
