rackspace-spot-access

Access the Rackspace Spot Kubernetes cluster by installing spotctl, retrieving your API token from GCP Secret Manager, configuring spotctl with your organization credentials, and generating the kubeconfig for the matchpoint-runners cluster. Use kubectl to inspect pods, nodes, events, and logs across runner namespaces.

Before configuring spotctl, ensure you have the API token stored in GCP Secret Manager and role-based access permissions to retrieve it. You'll also need spotctl installed locally and kubectl configured to connect to the matchpoint-runners cluster.

Retrieve the kubeconfig using spotctl after authentication, then export it to the KUBECONFIG environment variable. This enables kubectl connectivity to inspect ARC runner pods, nodes, and logs across namespaces.

Yes. Spotctl integrates with GCP Secret Manager to retrieve API tokens securely. Configure spotctl with your organization and the retrieved token to authenticate and access the Rackspace Spot Kubernetes cluster for ARC debugging.

After configuring spotctl and exporting kubeconfig, use kubectl to list and inspect pods, nodes, and events across runner namespaces, and retrieve container logs to identify ARC runner issues and connectivity problems.
