Used for setting the target K8s cluster context which will be used by other actions like azure/k8s-actions/k8s-deploy, azure/k8s-actions/k8s-create-secret etc. or run any kubectl commands.

- uses: azure/k8s-actions/k8s-set-context@master
  with:
    kubeconfig: '<your kubeconfig>'v# Use secret (https://developer.github.com/actions/managing-workflows/storing-secrets/)
    context: '<context name>'  # Optional, uses the current-context from kubeconfig by default
  id: login

- uses: azure/k8s-actions/k8s-set-context@master
  with:
    k8s-url: '<your kubernetes cluster url>'
    k8s-secret: '<service account token>' # token value from the result of the below script
  id: login

Use secret (https://developer.github.com/actions/managing-workflows/storing-secrets/) in workflow for kubeconfig or k8s-values.

PS: kubeconfig takes precedence (i.e. kubeconfig would be created using the value supplied in kubeconfig)

Refer to the action metadata file for details about all the inputs https://github.com/Azure/k8s-actions/blob/master/k8s-set-context/action.yml

az aks get-credentials --name
                       --resource-group
                       [--admin]
                       [--file]
                       [--overwrite-existing]
                       [--subscription]

Refer to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/aks?view=azure-cli-latest#az-aks-get-credentials

Please refer to https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configuration/organize-cluster-access-kubeconfig/

kubectl config view --minify -o jsonpath={.clusters[0].cluster.server}

Get service account secret names by running

kubectl get sa <service-account-name> -n <namespace> -o=jsonpath={.secrets[*].name}

Use the output of the above command

kubectl get secret <service-account-secret-name> -n <namespace> -o json

Now add the values as a secret in the GitHub repository. In the example below the secret name is KUBE_CONFIG and it can be used in the workflow by using the following syntax:

 - uses: azure/k8s-actions/k8s-set-context@master
      with:
        kubeconfig: ${{ secrets.KUBE_CONFIG }}
