Configuring an IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service

For Managed services to access kubernetes clusters, you must provide the value of the following parameters:

Note: You must have administrator privileges for the deployment of IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster and charts into that cluster. If you do not have the privileges, contact your administrator.

• IBM Cloud API Key - Enter the IBM Cloud API Key. It is the key to access your Kubernetes cluster.
• IBM Cloud region name - Enter the IBM Cloud region name where your cluster is running.
• IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service cluster name - Enter the Kubernetes cluster name.
• Kubernetes Helm version - Select the Kubernetes Helm version on which the cluster is running.

The cluster credentials are validated before creating a cloud connection. However, the health of the cluster is not validated.

If you want to know the details of your cluster, do the following steps:

1. Go to bluemix console at https://console.bluemix.net/dashboard/apps/ .
2. Click Containers.
3. From the Containers page menu, click Clusters.
4. In the Clusters page, select the Location from the drop-down menu or enter your region name in the Filter to search. You can find a list of all clusters including the clusters that were deployed with Managed services.
5. Click your cluster to view its details.
