Download and configure the client bundle

Download and configure the MKE client certificate bundle to use MKE with Docker CLI and kubectl. The bundle includes:

  • A private and public key pair for authorizing your requests using MKE

  • Utility scripts for configuring Docker CLI and kubectl with your MKE deployment

Note

MKE issues different certificates for each user type:

User certificate bundles

Allow running docker commands only through MKE manager nodes.

Administrator certificate bundles

Allow running docker commands through all node types. etcd_cert.pem and etcd_key.pem with ca.pem allow direct connection to etcd.
