If you have installed gcloud CLI<\/a> and setup a GKE cluster<\/a>. However, when you try to connect to the GKE cluster using gcloud command you get the following error.<\/p>\n

CRITICAL: ACTION REQUIRED: gke-gcloud-auth-plugin, which is needed for continued use of kubectl, was not found or is not executable. Install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin for use with kubectl by following https:\/\/cloud.google.com\/kubernetes-engine\/docs\/how-to\/cluster-access-for-kubectl#install_plugin<\/code><\/pre>\n
This issue is caused due to the authentication changes in GKE v1.26<\/strong>. To rectify this issue you need to install the kubectl gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/strong> so that you can use kubectl to connect to GKE clusters.<\/p>\n
gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/strong> is based on the official client-go credential plugins<\/a> that is focussed on client side integration with support or LDAP, Kerberos, OAuth2, SAML, etc. gcloud auth is based on OAuth2.<\/p>\n
Install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/h2>\n
You can install the gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/strong> plugin using the following gcloud command.<\/p>\n
gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/code><\/pre>\n
\"Install<\/figure>\n
Validate gke-gcloud-auth-plugin<\/h2>\n
To validate the gke-gcloud-auth-plugin, you can run the gcloud command to connect to the Kubernetes cluster<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Here is an example command that you get from the GKE console.<\/p>\n
$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials prometheus-cluster --zone us-central1-c --project aerial-reef-417506\n\n\nFetching cluster endpoint and auth data.\nkubeconfig entry generated for prometheus-cluster.<\/code><\/pre>\n
As you can see from the output, the authentication is successfull and the GKE cluster configuration is added as the kubeconfig<\/a> entry.<\/p>\n
