how to access second AKS from shell

@sunny biswas

As you already have a AKS cluster that you are managing from Azure CLI. I guess you have followed instructions as per this document.

Once the AKS cluster is setup you must have used the below command to get the AKS cluster credentials and then user kubectl for managing your AKS cluster.

az aks get-credentials --resource-group myResourceGroup --name myAKSCluster  

The above command saves the config under ~/.kube/config file in shell. You can also specify a different location for AKS config file using --file.

Managing multiple AKS clusters from CLI:

1. Once you setup another AKS cluster use az aks list -o table command and get the list of clusters.
2. Get the credentials to the new cluster by using the az aks get-credentials command.
3. Now, you can use kubectl config get-contexts to see all AKS clusters you are authenticated to.
4. The list indicates an * against the cluster that your kubectl commands are running.
5. To switch to another cluster and manage (run commands) against it, you can use kubectl config use-context <yourClusterName> .
