# View kubeconfig

Available in VPC

View the kubeconfig configuration file for the cluster.

Note

- Clusters created on or after February 13, 2022 have IAM authentication automatically applied, so you can't view the kubeconfig configuration file through this API.
- For clusters created before February 13, 2022, you can configure the kubeconfig configuration file with [ncp-iam-authenticator](https://guide.ncloud-docs.com/docs/en/k8s-iam-auth-convert) to control cluster permissions by IAM service (Sub Account) account through IAM authentication
