Getting Started

To get started with kubefirst, you'll need to know about four things pretty quickly:

  1. Connecting to your Kubernetes cluster with third-party tools.
  2. How to use your new gitops repository.
  3. User management with automated Terraform IaC.
  4. GitOps application delivery with the metaphor sample application.

Connecting to your new cluster with third-party tools​

To connect to your new cluster with third-party tools like kubectl, run this command in your terminal:

export KUBECONFIG=~/.k1/kubeconfig

You can then run kubectl commands against your new cluster, like getting the namespaces:

kubectl get namespaces

How to use your new gitops repository​

GitHub, and GitLab repositories managed with Terraform IaC (Infrastructure as Code).

User management with automated Terraform IaC​

Onboard yourself and your team with GitHub or with GitLab.
