Kubectl using SSH tunnel for TKG K8s Clusters

We know SSH'ing and probably many knows about SSH tunnel. The way, in my opinion, these 2 (SSH and SSH tunnel) are different to me (and I am in favor of SSH Tunnel) is how I use it. From tooling perspective I would almost always do tunnel instead of direct ssh.  In this post I will describe how to do SSH tunnel for kubectl to interact with remote kubernetes cluster (Specifically Tanzu Kubernetes Grid aka TKG cluster). Get the project ready to go from my github:  https://github.com/alinahid477/vsphere-with-tanzu-wizard Topics Backstory SSH tunnel for TKG Clusters using Docker container Technical stuff: Tunnel through Bastion for TKG K8s cluster Technical stuff: SSH Tunnel for Kubectl for remote K8s Clusters (same with or without docker) Technical stuff: Explain me this A famous quote from Darth Vader himself: "Feel the power of SSH Tunnel" Backstory Why ssh or ssh tunnel? The below diagram shows in what scenario a SSH or SSH Tunnel almost becomes a necessity. Let's st...

Do you even Kubernetes ? - in private cloud

The answer could go either way of "Yeah, it's easy" OR "Dude!! it's hard". This is because, in my opinion, it all depends on choosing the right toolset that are fit for purpose. In this post I will create a Kubernetes cluster and deploy a microservice application End-To-End, th...
