Organizing Access Using kubeconfig Files

The kubectl command-line tool uses kubeconfig files to find the information it needs in order to choose a cluster and communicate with its API server.

What happens if the kubeconfig file of your production cluster is leaked or published by accident?

Since there is no possibility to rotate or revoke the initial kubeconfig, there is only one way to protect your infrastructure or application if the kubeconfig has leaked - delete the cluster.
