Access your Cluster

During the tutorial we are going to access the cluster via HTTP.

The Cloud Shell provides a proxy that allows us access to the resources in your Kubernetes cluster.

1. Execute the command kubectl proxy --port 8080. This will open a HTTP proxy to your cluster:

   Starting to serve on 127.0.0.1:8080
   

2. Access your cluster using the preview functionality of Cloud Shell:
3. This will open a new tab with an URL.
4. Paste the URL without the path into the following field, it will customize the tutorial:
   Example: https://8080-dot-7136354-dot-devshell.appspot.com
   Apply
5. Test this link to verify the proxy is set up correctly. You should see a JSON response:
