Solution

  • if you are running your code inside the container you can directly use the default config using

    const kc = new k8s.KubeConfig();
kc.loadFromDefault();

    with this method, there is no requirement to pass the config and inside container, it will auto adjust the config you can use the API directly.

    for service account access your can check this document : https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/
