How to use a custom location for aks

set AZURE_CONFIG_DIR=D:\separate_account

az login

az account set --subscription <subscription_id>

az aks get-credentials --resource-group <resourcegroup> --name <clustername> --file D:\kubernetes_config\config

kubectl get clusterinfo --kubeconfig D:\kubernetes_config\config

kubectl cluster-info --kubeconfig D:\kubernetes_config\config

You can use --kubeconfig for providing config file path everytime for any kubernetes command or just set an environment variable and it will pick from here directly.

set KUBECONFIG=D:\separate_account\kubernetes_config\config
