Feature Request: Use kubectx to use right version of kubectl binary for a given K8s cluster #388

Closed stephan242 closed 1 year ago

stephan242 commented 1 year ago

I have several K8s clusters I choose from, some are version 1.23, some 1.27. Since kubectl is officially supported one version up one version down, to be on the safe side I always have to remember to manually change the kubectl binary I'm using. Would be nice if it was possible to make that part of the selection process of kubectx. I can think of several different ways to do that:

Have something like a hook script or command associated with a given cluster, which could be configured to somehow change the kubectl binary the system uses, e.g. via asdf.

Even better: Have kubectx work it out by itself with kubectl version and update (maybe with the help of asdf) the kubectl version in use.

This is not in scope for kubectx.

You can write a version manager for kubectl that wraps actual kubectl that does that for you.
