I using following link to create : https://console.bluemix.net/docs/containers/cs_tutorials.html#cs_cluster_tutorial
In Lesson3, Step 3 "Verify that the KUBECONFIG environment variable is set properly.", I am unable to set the variable KUBECONFIG.
I am able to execute the following command: ibmcloud ks cluster-config clusternameabc
I am getting following message The configuration for clusternameabc was downloaded successfully. Export environment variables to start using Kubernetes, with the following message:
SET KUBECONFIG=C:\Users\AAA.bluemix\plugins\container-service\clusters\customernameabc\kube-config-hou02-clusternameabc.yml
When I run the above SET command in powershell, I just get the prompt back with environment variable not set.
When I do
$Env:KUBECONFIG=C:\Users\AAA.bluemix\plugins\container-service\clusters\customernameabc\kube-config-hou02-clusternameabc.yml
Notepad gets opened and this file is shown. I want to just set the environment variable and unable to. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I tried searching and could not find answers and IBM documentation has only Mac examples.
In Powershell
1) $env:KUBECONFIG = "C:\Users\AAA.bluemix\plugins\container-service\clusters\customernameabc\kube-config-hou02-clusternameabc.yml"
2) ls env:KUBECONFIG
Slightly easier to remember.
