Under the hood, when you enable k8s, docker desktop downloads kubernetes components as docker images, and the server listens it is all done automatically so unless you have any intention to run the entire structure by yourself i dont suppose you can configure it to run multiple clusters.

Name: gke_dev-yufuyjfvk_us-central1-a_standard-cluster-1Ĭluster: gke_dev-yufuyjfvk_us-central1-a_standard-cluster-1 an example context object: apiVersion: v1 The context role is to make the connection between a user and a cluster, so when you use that context, kubectl will authorise you against the cluster specified in the context object, using the credentials of the user specified in the context object. User - user name and credentials, to authorise you against any cluster host. Kubernetes config file describes 3 objects: clusters, users, and contexts.Ĭluster - cluster name + details - the host and the certificates.
