How do you connect to a e.g. AKS cluster after it has been created by pulumi?

You have to use a function to pull the credentials, and then build a Kubeconfig from those credentials. Have a look at one of the `kubernetes-azure-*` templates in the Pulumi templates repository (<https://github.com/pulumi/templates>) for an example of how to do that.

Once you have the Kubeconfig, then you can build a Kubernetes provider that uses it, or pass it to `kubectl` for CLI access.

One additional note: by default, the Kubeconfig created by AKS uses a `devicelogin` configuration and won’t leverage the Azure CLI authentication. See this blog post to switch it (which makes it a tad easier IMO): <https://blog.scottlowe.org/2022/10/06/streamlining-the-user-experience-for-accessing-aks-clusters/>

Thanks Scott! We're currently connecting using the Command package that's in preview. And then calling `az aks get-credentials` through that. But that throws an error so maybe not the way to do it...

Thanks a lot for pointing at the templates. I wish we would've seen those a long time ago :slightly_smiling_face:

You should be able to “steal” code from the templates to add to your own projects in order to generate a Kubeconfig. Let us know if you need some help in that direction.
