How to install required tools and do basic commands towards the cluster
Installing Talos, hcloud and getting Kubeconfig
Installing Talos
All versions can be manually downloaded from the talos releases page including Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Installing hcloud
The hcloud cli is needed for managing cloud servers and has several other helpful commands. So let's get that.
Getting talosconfig
The talosconfig is stored in 1Password in the Bifrost vault. You can get it through this link.
Store the talosconfig somewhere safe! If someone gets the talosconfig they can get access to everything in our cluster.
Don't store web passwords or similar in the Bifrost vault. The vault is made for cluster secrets exlusively.
Getting kubeconfig
After you've stored the talosconfig in a folder, you can get the kubeconfig through the talosctl command (running it in the same folder as talosconfig)
Well done! You now got your kubeconfig, after running export KUBECONFIG={pwd}kubeconfig (replace pwd with the working directory) you should have access to the cluster.
Tip: I recommend also getting k9s as it makes managing Kubernetes much easier.
