Secrets

KUBE_CONFIG_DATA – required: A base64-encoded kubeconfig file with credentials for Kubernetes to access the cluster. You can get it by running the following command:

cat $HOME/.kube/config | base64

Environment

KUBECTL_VERSION - (optional): Used to specify the kubectl version. If not specified, this defaults to kubectl 1.13

Note: Do not use kubectl config view as this will hide the certificate-authority-data.
