Configuring a Kubernetes cluster with glab

[sunny0826]

Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

Hopefully, we can use glab to configure a Kubernetes cluster for a gitlab project.

Propose a Solution

we can use go-gitlab to implement this feature, and in fact, I have done so in my own project.

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/xanzy/go-gitlab"
)

type GitlabCluster struct {
	ApiUrl      string
	Token       string
	CaCert      string
	Namespace   string
	GitlabToken string
	GitlabUrl   string
}

func (gc *GitlabCluster) ConfigGitlab(name, envScope, git string) error {
	client, err := NewGitlabClient(gc.GitlabToken, gc.GitlabUrl)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	addOpt := &gitlab.AddClusterOptions{
		Name: gitlab.String(name),
		PlatformKubernetes: &gitlab.AddPlatformKubernetesOptions{
			APIURL:    gitlab.String(gc.ApiUrl),
			Token:     gitlab.String(gc.Token),
			CaCert:    gitlab.String(gc.CaCert),
			Namespace: gitlab.String(gc.Namespace),
		},
		EnvironmentScope: gitlab.String(envScope),
		Managed:          gitlab.Bool(false),
	}
	_, _, err = client.ProjectCluster.AddCluster(git, addOpt)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}
	return nil
}

Thanks for the suggestion @sunny0826

This looks like a pretty cool and powerful feature. We are already using go-gitlab so that is not an issue.
The question is under what command this should be? My idea would be to put it under repo command as glab repo kubernetes or glab repo k8s.

Then everything else needed to create the cluster is just supplied with flags.

The only thing I imagine maybe things like Tokens and CaCerts should have an option to be supplied using a file, since they might have sensitive.

I definitely need this feature. I am now using Bash in Gitlab Pipelines to solve the integration of a Kubernetes cluster in Gitlab projects. If I can use glab and a simple command to do that, it becomes really powerful. Is this on the roadmap for the next release?
