Cluster Details Tab
The Cluster Details tab is the cluster's overview. It is available in every state and is where you download the kubeconfig, reveal the dashboard token, renew the SSL certificate, and edit basic cluster information.
To open it, go to Compute > Kubernetes, select a cluster, and stay on the default Cluster Details tab.
Kubeconfig
The Kubeconfig field shows the file name <cluster-name>-kubeconfig.yaml.
- Download - saves the kubeconfig file to your machine.
- Info - shows a tooltip with the quick-start steps: install
kubectl, runkubectl --kubeconfig="<cluster-name>-kubeconfig.yaml" proxy, and open the dashboard URL.
For the full connection workflow, see Connect to a Cluster.
Kubeconfig Token
The Kubeconfig Token is used to sign in to the Kubernetes Dashboard. It is shown only while the cluster is Running.
- Select View Token to reveal the token.
- Use Copy to copy it, then paste it into the dashboard's token field.
- Select Hide Token to hide it again.
SSL Certificate Renewal
When the cluster's SSL certificate is within 5 days of expiry, a warning banner appears at the top of this tab:
SSL Certificate of this Cluster is about to Expire. Click Here to renew SSL Certificate.
Select the link to renew immediately. If you take no action, the certificate is renewed automatically. See SSL Certificate Renewal.

Committed Plan Information
If the cluster's master node is on a committed plan, the card also shows:

- Committed Node Settings - what happens at the end of the term: Switch to hourly billing or Auto-renew the committed plan. These settings take effect only after the current committed period ends.
To change committed billing, see Actions.
