As of now i do
kubectl --context <cluster context> get pod -A
to get pod in specific cluster
is there a python way to set kubernetes context for a virtual env , so we can use multiple context at the same time example :
Terminal 1:
(cluster context1) user@machine #
Terminal 2:
(cluster context2) user@machine #
This should be equivalent of
Terminal 1:
user@machine # kubectl --context <cluster context1> get pod -A
Terminal 2:
user@machine # kubectl --context <cluster context1> get pod -A

This isn't probably a rational solution, but anyway... At some time I used different kubectl
versions for different clusters and I came up with a venv-like solution to switch between them. I wrote text files like this:
export KUBECONFIG="/path/to/kubeconfig"
export PATH="/path/including/the/right/kubectl"
And activated them in the same fashion as venv: source the_file
. If you can split your contexts to separate files, you can add export KUBECONFIG="/path/to/kubeconfig"
to your venv/bin/activate
and it will use the desired config when you activate the venv
.

i would try initializing multiple objects for the cluster as suggested in the official client repo
from pick import pick # install pick using `pip install pick`
from kubernetes import client, config
from kubernetes.client import configuration
def main():
contexts, active_context = config.list_kube_config_contexts()
if not contexts:
print("Cannot find any context in kube-config file.")
return
contexts = [context['name'] for context in contexts]
active_index = contexts.index(active_context['name'])
cluster1, first_index = pick(contexts, title="Pick the first context",
default_index=active_index)
cluster2, _ = pick(contexts, title="Pick the second context",
default_index=first_index)
client1 = client.CoreV1Api(
api_client=config.new_client_from_config(context=cluster1))
client2 = client.CoreV1Api(
api_client=config.new_client_from_config(context=cluster2))
print("\nList of pods on %s:" % cluster1)
for i in client1.list_pod_for_all_namespaces().items:
print("%s\t%s\t%s" %
(i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))
print("\n\nList of pods on %s:" % cluster2)
for i in client2.list_pod_for_all_namespaces().items:
print("%s\t%s\t%s" %
(i.status.pod_ip, i.metadata.namespace, i.metadata.name))
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
You can also use python with pick for picking up the contexts
from pick import pick # `pip install pick`
from kubernetes import client, config
from kubernetes.client import configuration
def main():
contexts, active_context = config.list_kube_config_contexts()
if not contexts:
print("Cannot find any context in kube-config file.")
return
contexts = [context['name'] for context in contexts]
active_index = contexts.index(active_context['name'])
option, _ = pick(contexts, title="Pick the context to load",
default_index=active_index)
# Configs can be set in Configuration class directly or using helper
# utility
config.load_kube_config(context=option)
print("Active host is %s" % configuration.Configuration().host)
You can also try using the Environment variables in different terminals storing the different K8s contexts details.
