## kubectl config set-cluster

Sets a cluster entry in kubeconfig

### Synopsis



Sets a cluster entry in kubeconfig.
Specifying a name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values for those fields.

```
kubectl config set-cluster NAME [--server=server] [--certificate-authority=path/to/certificate/authority] [--insecure-skip-tls-verify=true]
```

### Examples

```

# Set only the server field on the e2e cluster entry without touching other values.
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --server=https://1.2.3.4

# Embed certificate authority data for the e2e cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --certificate-authority=~/.kube/e2e/kubernetes.ca.crt

# Disable cert checking for the dev cluster entry
kubectl config set-cluster e2e --insecure-skip-tls-verify=true
```
