kops export kubeconfig with no diminishing TTL

We create the cluster using the following command

kops create cluster --node-count=3 --node-size=c5.2xlarge --master-count=3 --master-size=c5.xlarge --zones=eu-west-1a --name=${KOPS_CLUSTER_NAME} --yes

We are using kops cluster. We export the kubeconfig using this command

$ kops export kubecfg --admin --kubeconfig ~/workspace/kubeconfig --state=s3://YOUR-S3-BUCKET-NAME"

It works fine for sometime. But after sometime we again start getting the same error as TTL expires for kubeconfig

error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized) kops

Is there any way we can get rid of this annoying TTL?

Solution

  • After going through the docs, found that we can actually give the validity of the kubeconfig as an argument

    $ kops export kubecfg --admin=87600h0m0s --kubeconfig ~/workspace/kubeconfig --state=s3://<bucket-name> --name=<cluster-name>
