API for Interacting with Docker Desktop Managed Kubernetes #181
Description
How might an extension be able to interact with the Docker Desktop Kubenetes cluster (when one exists)?
Comments in the Extension SDK source show using ddClient.extension.host.cli.exec to invoke kubectl on the host, provided the kubectl binary is shipped as part of your extension. Would this be the recommended way to interact with the Docker Desktop managed Kubernetes cluster from an extension?

Hi @gilday, as of today there are no API methods available to interact with the Docker Desktop Kubernetes cluster.
If your extension needs to interact with Kubernetes clusters, then include the
kubectlbinary as part of your extension. You can find an example here.erulabs commentedon May 30, 2022
@felipecruz91 Hello! An api for enabling Kubernetes on docker-desktop would enable a lot of functionality and ease-of-use. The use case is:
kubectlnormally as explained in the docsThank you!

A navigation intent for directing users to the Kubernetes preferences would be helpful too.
