# CoreWeave Install & Auth
## Overview
Set up access to CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS). CKS runs bare-metal Kubernetes with NVIDIA GPUs -- no hypervisor overhead. Access is via standard kubeconfig with CoreWeave-issued credentials.
## Prerequisites
- CoreWeave account at https://cloud.coreweave.com
- `kubectl` v1.28+ installed
- Kubernetes namespace provisioned by CoreWeave
## Instructions
### Step 1: Download Kubeconfig
1. Log in to https://cloud.coreweave.com
2. Navigate to **API Access** > **Kubeconfig**
3. Download the kubeconfig file
```bash
# Save kubeconfig
mkdir -p ~/.kube
cp ~/Downloads/coreweave-kubeconfig.yaml ~/.kube/coreweave
# Set as active context
export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/coreweave
# Verify connection
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get namespaces
```
### Step 2: Configure API Token
```bash
# CoreWeave API token for programmatic access
export COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
# Store securely
echo "COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN=${COREWEAVE_API_TOKEN}" >> .env
echo "KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/coreweave" >> .env
```
### Step 3: Verify GPU Access
```bash
# List available GPU nodes
kubectl get nodes -l gpu.nvidia.com/class -o custom-columns=\
NAME:.metadata.name,GPU:.metadata.labels.gpu\.nvidia\.com/class,\
STATUS:.status.conditions[-1].type
# Check GPU allocatable resources
kubectl describe nodes | grep -A5 "Allocatable:" | grep nvidia
```
### Step 4: Test with a Simple GPU Pod
```yaml
# test-gpu.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: gpu-test
spec:
restartPolicy: Never
containers:
- name: cuda-test
image: nvidia/cuda:12.2.0-base-ubuntu22.04
command: ["nvidia-smi"]
resources:
limits:
nvidia.com/gpu: 1
affinity:
nodeAffinity:
requiredDuringSchedulingIgnoredDuringExecution:
nodeSelectorTerms:
- matchExpressions:
- key: gpu.nvidia.com/class
operator: In
values: ["A100_PCIE_80GB"]
```
```bash
kubectl apply -f test-gpu.yaml
kubectl logs gpu-test # Should show nvidia-smi output
kubectl delete pod gpu-test
```
## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| `Unable to connect to the server` | Wrong kubeconfig | Verify KUBECONFIG path |
| `Forbidden` | Missing namespace permissions | Contact CoreWeave support |
| No GPU nodes found | Wrong node labels | Check `gpu.nvidia.com/class` labels |
| Pod stuck Pending | GPU capacity exhausted | Try different GPU type or region |
