Overview

Set up access to CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS). CKS runs bare-metal Kubernetes with NVIDIA GPUs -- no hypervisor overhead. Access is via standard kubeconfig with CoreWeave-issued credentials.

Prerequisites

• CoreWeave account at https://cloud.coreweave.com
• kubectl v1.28+ installed
• Kubernetes namespace provisioned by CoreWeave

Instructions

Step 1: Download Kubeconfig

1. Log in to https://cloud.coreweave.com
2. Navigate to API Access > Kubeconfig
3. Download the kubeconfig file

# Save kubeconfig
mkdir -p ~/.kube
cp ~/Downloads/coreweave-kubeconfig.yaml ~/.kube/coreweave

# Set as active context
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/coreweave

# Verify connection
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get namespaces

Step 2: Configure API Token

# CoreWeave API token for programmatic access
export COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"

# Store securely
echo "COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN=${COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN}" >> .env
echo "KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/coreweave" >> .env

Step 3: Verify GPU Access

# List available GPU nodes
kubectl get nodes -l gpu.nvidia.com/class -o custom-columns=\
NAME:.metadata.name,GPU:.metadata.labels.gpu\.nvidia\.com/class,\
STATUS:.status.conditions[-1].type

# Check GPU allocatable resources
kubectl describe nodes | grep -A5 "Allocatable:" | grep nvidia
