You would _set_ kubeconfig on the provider vs reading it. Eg.
```var k8sProvider = new Provider("k8s", new ProviderArgs
        {
            KubeConfig = kubeConfig
        });```

I construct mine like so:

```ListManagedClusterAdminCredentials.Invoke(new ListManagedClusterAdminCredentialsInvokeArgs
        {
            ResourceGroupName = resourceGroupName,
            ResourceName = clusterName
        }).Apply(credentials =&gt; {
            var encoded = credentials.Kubeconfigs[0].Value;
            var data = Convert.FromBase64String(encoded);
            return Encoding.UTF8.GetString(data);
        });```
Sorry for the c#

I've already got a provider; i'm implementing a custom component for cert-manager which receives a k8s.Provider for deploying a chart to.

But i need to use a k8s sdk to ready check the admission controllers

So i need to use the kubeconfig again but want to get it back out of the provider instead of passing another input to the component if that makes sense

I actually found the `provider.kubeconfig` is available at runtime, it's just not in the type declarations for some reason.

can you not pass it the entire provider instance and reference it in the chart resource?

I did, and the chart deploys. That's not the question :grimacing:

Reading the docs kubeConfig is a documented field of the provider. Maybe an oversight in the typescript offering

I've been totally unhelpful, i'll leave you to it :+1:
