About:
kubelogin is a kubectl plugin that enables OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication for Kubernetes clusters. It handles the OAuth2/OpenID Connect flow to obtain and refresh ID tokens, allowing users to authenticate with identity providers like Google, Azure AD, or Okta. Its main value is simplifying secure, token-based access to Kubernetes without managing static credentials.
Key Features:
  • OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication for kubectl
  • Automatic token refresh for continuous access
  • Support for multiple identity providers (e.g., Google, Azure AD)
  • Standalone and in-cluster execution modes
  • Integration with kubectl via the exec plugin mechanism
Use Cases:
  • Secure developer access to Kubernetes clusters using corporate SSO
  • Automating CI/CD pipeline authentication with cloud identity providers
Alternatives:
  • aws-iam-authenticator – Specifically for AWS EKS IAM authentication, not generic OIDC
  • oidc-login – Another kubectl OIDC plugin with similar core functionality
