Connect your clusters to Roam

Roam connects straight from your phone or desktop to a cluster's API server. Pick how your cluster is run and follow the guide — most take a couple of minutes.

Amazon EKS

Sign in with IAM access keys, MFA, an assumed role or AWS IAM Identity Center, then pick a cluster.

Google GKE

Connect with a service account key: the IAM roles it needs, how to create the key, and what to enter.

Azure AKS

Sign in with device login or a service principal; what the cluster needs and which roles to grant.

Kubeconfig or token

k3s, kind, minikube, on-premises and any other cluster: import a kubeconfig or use a bearer token, with SSH bastion and CA options.

Which one do I need?

  • A cluster on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure: use its sign-in. Kubeconfigs for these clusters run a helper program (aws, gke-gcloud-auth-plugin, kubelogin) to get a token, and a phone can't run it.
  • Anything else: import its kubeconfig, or use the API server URL and a service-account token.
  • On the desktop app downloaded from GitHub or the Microsoft Store, you can also use your ~/.kube/config as it is, helper programs included.

Whichever way you connect, the credentials are encrypted on your device and never go through a Roam server. See the features for what you can do once you're in.
