p0 kubeconfig

Fix p0 kubeconfig errors when configuring Kubernetes cluster access from the CLI, including missing dependencies, invalid formats, and AWS credential conflicts.

Prerequisites

Component
Check Command
Requirement

P0 CLI

p0 version

v0.9.0 or later

Authentication

p0 login <ORG_ID>

Browser confirmation

AWS CLI + EKS

aws --version aws eks help

AWS CLI v2.x with EKS

kubectl

kubectl version --client

v1.24 or higher

Common Errors & Resolutions

Error Scenario
Symptom / Cause
Resolution

Missing Dependencies

AWS CLI/EKS or kubectl not on $PATH

Install AWS CLI v2 (or add EKS plugin), install kubectl and move to /usr/local/bin/

Invalid Role Argument

--role not in ClusterRole / <name>, CuratedRole / <name>, or Role / <ns> / <name> format

Use exact slash syntax (one or two slashes):--role ClusterRole/cluster-admin

Invalid Resource Argument

Missing spaces around slashes

Include spaces: --resource Pod / staging / my-pod-123 or --resource Deployment / frontend-app

Cluster Integration Lookup Fails

“Failed to fetch cluster integration for <cluster-id>”

Verify onboarding in P0 Dashboard → Kubernetes, check network/org ID, rerun with P0_LOG=debug

AWS Credential Conflicts

Env vars override P0 profile

unset AWS_ACCESS_KEY_IDunset AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

aws eks update-kubeconfig Fails

Missing plugin, wrong region/cluster in ARN, or expired creds

Test manually:aws eks update-kubeconfig …aws eks list-clusters …Ensure profile exists

kubectl config use-context Fails

Context not found or kubectl misconfigured

kubectl config get-contextsCheck ~/.kube/config and file permissions

ARN Parsing Errors

Stored ARN not in arn:aws:eks:<region>:<acctId>:cluster/<name> form

Correct the ARN in P0 Dashboard under Kubernetes integration

Pending Approval/Timeouts

Stuck on “Requesting access…” or “Waiting for AWS resources…”

Approve in Slack/UI, wait 30-60s for IAM propagation, then retry

Diagnostics & Tips

  • Recheck versions: p0 version, aws --version, kubectl version --client.

  • Inspect AWS profiles: aws configure list-profiles & cat ~/.aws/credentials.

  • Manual tests:

    • aws eks list-clusters --region <region> --profile <profile>

    • kubectl config view

    • grep -A2 "<clusterARN>" ~/.kube/config

Escalation Paths

  • Misconfigured integrations → Your P0 admin

  • Persistent API/auth failures → P0 Support

  • CLI bugs → File a GitHub issue
