Asked by anthonybudd
I have just set up a Kubernetes cluster on DigitalOcean. I have followed the suggested tutorial but when I try and run the commands I keep getting prompted for a username and password which I have not been provided with.
I have seen a few posts where people say it will be emailed to me but it’s been well over an hour since the set-up completed and I have still not been emailed with anything (yes, I checked the usual places)
Commands I ran: $> doctl kubernetes cluster kubeconfig save MY-CLUSTER Notice: adding cluster credentials to kubeconfig file found in “/Users/anthonybudd/.kube/config” Notice: setting current-context to do-sfo2-ideea-prod $> kubctl get nodes Please enter Username:
