Feature request: Add new cluster kubeconf to octant through API at running #210

Open cdan opened 5 years ago

cdan commented 5 years ago

To support multiple clusters more gracefully, is it possible to add an API to enable user to add new kubeconf to octant at running status?

This should be possible. Our current limitation is a configuration editor that would allow you to add it. Also, we'd need to think through what would happen if you quit Octant. What would happen if you started it again?

@bryanl if the plugin is able to add configurations at runtime, I suppose those configurations would be ephemeral. A use case that I have in mind is to manage a workload which is spread over a federation of Kubernetes clusters, with cluster endpoints discovered via an external system.
