KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

✨ NAME ✨

kubectl config delete-cluster — delete the specified cluster from the kubeconfig, bestie 💅

(so yeah, this whole thing lives in the KUBERNETES(1) manual, aka the kubernetes manual — that's the manual name, now you know 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubectl config delete-cluster [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so literally all this does: it deletes the cluster you name from the kubeconfig. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Gone. Bye. Not me manifesting a clean kubeconfig ✨

🎀 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🎀

These are the flags you didn't ask for but got anyway, because parent commands said "here, take these too" 👑

• --as="" — the username you're impersonating for this operation. Could be a regular user, could be a service account in a namespace. main character energy, but borrowed 👑
• --as-group=[] — the group you're impersonating for this operation. You can repeat this flag to specify multiple groups, so go off, stack 'em 🌈
• --as-uid="" — the UID you're impersonating for this operation. yes, a UID. slay.
• --as-user-extra=[] — user extras to impersonate for this operation. Repeat the flag to specify multiple values for the same key. lowkey thorough 💜
• --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache" — the default cache directory. that's the default, fr fr
• --certificate-authority="" — path to a cert file for the certificate authority 🎀
• --client-certificate="" — path to a client certificate file for TLS
• --client-key="" — path to a client key file for TLS
• --cluster="" — the name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
• --context="" — the name of the kubeconfig context to use
• --disable-compression=false — if true, opt out of response compression for all requests to the server. if false (the default), compression stays on 🫶
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — if true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. and like… that makes your HTTPS connections insecure. no cap, that's literally what it does 😭 be careful bestie
• --kubeconfig="" — use a particular kubeconfig file
• --kuberc="" — path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. you can disable this by exporting the KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate, or by turning off the feature with KUBERC=off ✨
• --match-server-version=false — require server version to match client version. strict queen 👑
• -n, --namespace="" — if present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
• --password="" — password for basic authentication to the API server 🙈
• --profile="none" — name of the profile to capture. one of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex|trace) 🍓
• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — name of the file to write the profile to
• --proxy-url="" — proxy URL to use for requests to the API server
• --request-timeout="0" — how long to wait before giving up on a single server request. non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (like 1s, 2m, 3h). a value of zero means don't timeout requests — zero means infinite patience, iconic ⭐
• -s, --server="" — the address and port of the Kubernetes API server
• --tls-server-name="" — server name to use for server certificate validation. if it's not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
• --token="" — bearer token for authentication to the API server 🔥
• --user="" — the name of the kubeconfig user to use
• --username="" — username for basic authentication to the API server
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version 💫
• --warnings-as-errors=false — treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code. dramatic? yes. effective? also yes 💀

January 2015, originally compiled by Eric Paris (eparis at redhat dot com) based on the kubernetes source material, but hopefully they have been automatically generated since! 🙈 like, fingers crossed, no manual labour here
