This image is intended to be used as sidecar for your app to access the kubernetes API. Additionaly it can be used in a Jenkins (or any other CI/CD setup) in order to interact with the kubernetes API.
This image image is based on scratch and doesn't contain a shell. There are however debug images which consist of kubectl along with a busybox shell to enter.
You can launch the debug image with a shell entrypoint:
docker run -it --entrypoint=/busybox/sh joshendriks/kubectl:debug
