4. Important Notes​

  • Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to access the console and execute commands in the cluster.
  • Check your network connectivity, as connection issues may prevent the console from opening.
  • Use commands with caution, as actions such as deleting pods can impact cluster operation.
  • For more information about available commands, consult the official Kubernetes documentation or use kubectl --help.
