I am trying to determine how a Kubernetes cluster was provisioned. (Either using minikube, kops, k3s, kind or kubeadm).

I have looked at config files to establish this distinction but didn't find any.

Is there some way one can identify what was used to provision a Kubernetes cluster?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Usually but not always you can view the cluster(s) definition in your ~/.kube/config and you will see "entry" per cluster usually with the type.

Again it's not 100%.

Another option is to check the pods & ns, if you will see minikube it is almost certain minikube, k3s, rancher etc.

If you will see namespace *cattle - it can be rancher with a k3s or with RKE

To summarize it, there is no single answer to how to figure out how your cluster was deployed, but you can find hints for that

If you see kubeadm configmap object in kube-system namespace then it means that the cluster is provisioned using kubeadm.
