vke_bash_prompt.sh adds a Vmware Cloud PKS (formerly VKE) prompt to your PS1. Source this script from your .bash_profile and, in a new shell, enter vke_prompt on to display the Cloud PKS prompt. Remove the Cloud PKS prompt by entering vke_prompt off.

You can hide the K8s current context in this prompt using export VKE_PROMPT_CONTEXT_ENABLED='off'. Useful if you're already using something like kube-ps1.

jq is used to parse JSON responses from the Cloud PKS CLI.

You may have use for some other Cloud PKS projects:

• Install Cloud PKS CLI using homebrew
• Cloud PKS CLI bash or zsh completion
• Scripts used with Cloud PKS
• Extended Cloud PKS CLI functionality
