+ NOTE: **Note:**
+ You need Maintainer [permissions] and above to access the Kubernetes page.
1. Click **Add Kubernetes cluster**.
1. Click **Add an existing Kubernetes cluster** and fill in the details:
- - **Kubernetes cluster name** (required) - The name you wish to give the cluster.
- - **Environment scope** (required) - The
- [associated environment](#setting-the-environment-scope-premium) to this cluster.
- - **API URL** (required) -
- It's the URL that GitLab uses to access the Kubernetes API. Kubernetes
- exposes several APIs, we want the "base" URL that is common to all of them,
- e.g., `https://kubernetes.example.com` rather than `https://kubernetes.example.com/api/v1`.
-
- Get the API URL by running this command:
-
- ```sh
- kubectl cluster-info | grep 'Kubernetes master' | awk '/http/ {print $NF}'
- ```
- - **CA certificate** (required) - A valid Kubernetes certificate is needed to authenticate to the EKS cluster. We will use the certificate created by default.
- - List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`, and one should named similar to
- `default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below.
- - Get the certificate by running this command:
-
- ```sh
- kubectl get secret <secret name> -o jsonpath="{['data']['ca\.crt']}" | base64 --decode
- ```
- - **Token** -
- GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
- scoped to a particular `namespace`.
- **The token used should belong to a service account with
- [`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles)
- privileges.** To create this service account:
-
- 1. Create a file called `gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml` with contents:
-
- ```yaml
- apiVersion: v1
- kind: ServiceAccount
- metadata:
- name: gitlab-admin
- namespace: kube-system
- ---
- apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
- kind: ClusterRoleBinding
- metadata:
- name: gitlab-admin
- roleRef:
- apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
- kind: ClusterRole
- name: cluster-admin
- subjects:
- - kind: ServiceAccount
- name: gitlab-admin
- namespace: kube-system
- ```
-
- 1. Apply the service account and cluster role binding to your cluster:
-
- ```bash
- kubectl apply -f gitlab-admin-service-account.yaml
- ```
-
- Output:
-
- ```bash
- serviceaccount "gitlab-admin" created
- clusterrolebinding "gitlab-admin" created
- ```
-
- 1. Retrieve the token for the `gitlab-admin` service account:
-
- ```bash
- kubectl -n kube-system describe secret $(kubectl -n kube-system get secret | grep gitlab-admin | awk '{print $1}')
- ```
-
- Copy the `<authentication_token>` value from the output:
-
- ```yaml
- Name: gitlab-admin-token-b5zv4
- Namespace: kube-system
- Labels: <none>
- Annotations: kubernetes.io/service-account.name=gitlab-admin
- kubernetes.io/service-account.uid=bcfe66ac-39be-11e8-97e8-026dce96b6e8
-
- Type: kubernetes.io/service-account-token
-
- Data
- ====
- ca.crt: 1025 bytes
- namespace: 11 bytes
- token: <authentication_token>
- ```
-
- NOTE: **Note:**
- For GKE clusters, you will need the
- `container.clusterRoleBindings.create` permission to create a cluster
- role binding. You can follow the [Google Cloud
- documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access)
- to grant access.
-
- - **GitLab-managed cluster** - Leave this checked if you want GitLab to manage namespaces and service accounts for this cluster. See the [Managed clusters section](#gitlab-managed-clusters) for more information.
-
- - **Project namespace** (optional) - You don't have to fill it in; by leaving
- it blank, GitLab will create one for you. Also:
- - Each project should have a unique namespace.
- - The project namespace is not necessarily the namespace of the secret, if
- you're using a secret with broader permissions, like the secret from `default`.
- - You should **not** use `default` as the project namespace.
- - If you or someone created a secret specifically for the project, usually
- with limited permissions, the secret's namespace and project namespace may
- be the same.
