To write applications using the [Kubernetes REST API](/docs/reference/using-api/api-overview/),
|
2017-07-09 02:25:05 +00:00
|
|
|
you do not need to implement the API calls and request/response types yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use a client library for the programming language you are using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Client libraries often handle common tasks such as authentication for you.
|
2018-02-27 03:08:46 +00:00
|
|
|
Most client libraries can discover and use the Kubernetes Service Account to
|
2017-07-09 02:25:05 +00:00
|
|
|
authenticate if the API client is running inside the Kubernetes cluster, or can
|
|
|
|
|
understand the [kubeconfig file](/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/authenticate-across-clusters-kubeconfig/)
|
|
|
|
|
format to read the credentials and the API Server address.
