#If needed, we can download and install kubectl on our local system.
az aks install-cli

#Get our cluster credentials and merge the configuration into our existing config file.
#This will allow us to connect to this system remotely using certificate based user authentication.

kubectl config get-contexts

#set our current context to the Azure context
kubectl config use-context CSCluster

#run a command to communicate with our cluster.
kubectl get nodes

#Get a list of running pods, we'll look at the system pods since we don't have anything running.
#Since the API Server is HTTP based...we can operate our cluster over the internet...esentially the same as if it was local using kubectl.
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
