Kubernetes credentials for Jenkins

After adding the kubernetes plugin on Jenkins, what kind of credential info do I need to put so that I can manage the kubernetes cluster. Also, where do I get the credential info on the master node?

Thanks! Phil

You didnt precise your question, if you are using On-Prem or Local, however in internet you can find many good tutorials about Jenkins plugin.

The best tutorial can be found on jenkins plugin doc. You can find there information how to configure Minikube, GKE, AWS.

In Jenkins settings click on add cloud, select Kubernetes and fill the information, like Name, Kubernetes URL, Kubernetes server certificate key, ...

If Kubernetes URL is not set, the connection options will be autoconfigured from service account or kube config file.

When running the Jenkins master outside of Kubernetes you will need to set the credential to secret text. The value of the credential will be the token of the service account you created for Jenkins in the cluster the agents will run on.

You should also read this and this github tutorial.

If you need more detailed help, please edit your question and provide more information.
