Set a cluster entry in kubeconfig.
Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values for those fields.
kubectl config set-cluster NAME [--server=server] [--certificate-authority=path/to/certificate/authority] [--insecure-skip-tls-verify=true] [--tls-server-name=example.com]
# Set only the server field on the e2e cluster entry without touching other values
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --server=https://1.2.3.4
# Embed certificate authority data for the e2e cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --embed-certs --certificate-authority=~/.kube/e2e/kubernetes.ca.crt
# Disable cert checking for the e2e cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true
# Set the custom TLS server name to use for validation for the e2e cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --tls-server-name=my-cluster-name
# Set the proxy URL for the e2e cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --proxy-url=https://1.2.3.4
