Description

On using python client in azure function to do custom operation on k8s object in azure cluster and Azure cluster config is configured to use kubelogin for auth via service principal.

"kubelogin" not found error thrown post using standard python client for doing custom operation.

Is there any fix for using python client using kubeconfig having kubelogin as auth mechanism via service principal ? or there are separate apis for that ?

Kubernetes version (kubectl version): 1.26 OS (e.g., MacOS 10.13.6): linux Python version (python --version): 3.10

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the exec plugin mechanism in kubeconfig and how the Python client handles external credential plugins like kubelogin. Check if the client supports exec based auth or if a workaround is needed.
