Research direction

Open the reported COS on Canonical K8s installation page and review its deployment instructions around kubeconfig usage. Clarify whether deployment uses the local ~/.kube/config regardless of the cluster type, or document how Juju should provide the kubeconfig; done means a reader can determine which cluster the deployment targets.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please describe the question or issue you're facing with "Getting started with COS on Canonical K8s - Observability documentation".

The documentation should make it clear that the local ~/.kube/config is assumed to be used when deploying. I had a non-charmed/snap/microk8s (k3s) cluster it happily deployed on. It should ideally use juju to fetch the relevant kubeconfig from the juju k8s model it would have access to.

Alternatively, the docs should make it clear that ~/.kube/config is used regardless of whether or not the k8s cluster it points to is one deployed via juju.
