CKS generates a managed-auth kubeconfig when you create an API access token. Visit the Access Tokens dashboard in the CoreWeave Cloud Console, create a token scoped to your cluster, and download the resulting kubeconfig. Save the file as ~/.kube/config, or set KUBECONFIG to its path. If you use kubectl with multiple clusters, merge the new file into your existing config and switch contexts with kubectl config use-context. The token’s secret values are shown only once at creation, so save the kubeconfig immediately. Private clusters have no public API endpoint, so the kubeconfig download may not be available. See How do I access the Kubernetes API if my cluster is private? for the supported private-access patterns. For full details, see Managed auth kubeconfig.
