#Introduction

#What is Kubernetes Connector

Kubernetes Connector is a specialized connector component that enables secure and convenient integration with Kubernetes clusters, allowing users to interact with Kubernetes clusters secretlessly in clients like kubectl.

Once Kubernetes Connector Component is deployed, users can:

• Create Kubernetes connectors to integrate with various Kubernetes clusters
• Perform kubernetes operations in CI/CD pipelines or kubernetes workloads without directly handling credentials.

#Application Scenarios

The Kubernetes Connector allows you to perform kubernetes operations securely by:

• Managing credentials centrally rather than hardcoding them in clients
• Automatically injecting authentication during the kubernetes operations

This approach is particularly useful for:

• CI/CD pipelines or kubernetes jobs requiring access kubernetes resources
• Teams sharing kubernetes cluster access without sharing credentials
• Environments requiring centralized management of kubernetes credentials without distributing credentials to each client
