Kubectl is a command line tool for communicating with a Kubernetes cluster's control plane, using the Kubernetes API.

## How to use this Container Image

To run commands inside the container for the current cluster for which the kubeconfig is available in `/root/.kube.config`:

```ShellSession
podman run --rm --name kubectl\
      registry.suse.com/suse/kubectl:1.33 get nodes
```

To pass configuration of a remote cluster to the container:

```ShellSession
podman run --rm --name kubectl\
      -v /localpath/to/kubeconfig:/root/.kube/config:Z
      registry.suse.com/suse/kubectl:1.33 get nodes
```
