WARNING: This feature was [deprecated](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/configure/-/epics/8) in GitLab 14.5. Similarly to [project-level](../user/project/clusters/index.md) and [instance-level](../user/instance/clusters/index.md) Kubernetes clusters, group-level Kubernetes clusters allow you to connect a Kubernetes cluster to your group, enabling you to use the same cluster across multiple projects. Users need at least the [Maintainer role](../user/permissions.md) for the group to use these endpoints. ## List group clusters Returns a list of group clusters. ```plaintext GET /groups/:id/clusters ``` Parameters: | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | --------- | -------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) | Example request: ```shell curl --header "Private-Token: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/26/clusters" ``` Example response: ```json [ { "id":18, "name":"cluster-1", "domain":"example.com", "created_at":"2019-01-02T20:18:12.563Z", "managed": true, "enabled": true, "provider_type":"user", "platform_type":"kubernetes", "environment_scope":"*", "cluster_type":"group_type", "user": { "id":1, "name":"Administrator", "username":"root", "state":"active", "avatar_url":"https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4249f4df72b..", "web_url":"https://gitlab.example.com/root" }, "platform_kubernetes": { "api_url":"https://104.197.68.152", "authorization_type":"rbac", "ca_cert":"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\r\nhFiK1L61owwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw\r\nLzEtMCsGA1UEAxMkZDA1YzQ1YjctNzdiMS00NDY0LThjNmEtMTQ0ZDJkZjM4ZDBj\r\nMB4XDTE4MTIyNzIwMDM1MVoXDTIzMTIyNjIxMDM1MVowLzEtMCsGA1UEAxMkZDA1\r\nYzQ1YjctNzdiMS00NDY0LThjNmEtMTQ0ZDJkZjM.......-----END CERTIFICATE-----" }, "management_project": { "id":2, "description":null, "name":"project2", "name_with_namespace":"John Doe8 / project2", "path":"project2", "path_with_namespace":"namespace2/project2", "created_at":"2019-10-11T02:55:54.138Z" } }, { "id":19, "name":"cluster-2", ... } ] ``` ## Get a single group cluster Gets a single group cluster. ```plaintext GET /groups/:id/clusters/:cluster_id ``` Parameters: | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | ------------ | -------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) | | `cluster_id` | integer | yes | The ID of the cluster | Example request: ```shell curl --header "Private-Token: " "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/26/clusters/18" ``` Example response: ```json { "id":18, "name":"cluster-1", "domain":"example.com", "created_at":"2019-01-02T20:18:12.563Z", "managed": true, "enabled": true, "provider_type":"user", "platform_type":"kubernetes", "environment_scope":"*", "cluster_type":"group_type", "user": { "id":1, "name":"Administrator", "username":"root", "state":"active", "avatar_url":"https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/4249f4df72b..", "web_url":"https://gitlab.example.com/root" }, "platform_kubernetes": { "api_url":"https://104.197.68.152", "authorization_type":"rbac", "ca_cert":"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\r\nhFiK1L61owwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQELBQAw\r\nLzEtMCsGA1UEAxMkZDA1YzQ1YjctNzdiMS00NDY0LThjNmEtMTQ0ZDJkZjM4ZDBj\r\nMB4XDTE4MTIyNzIwMDM1MVoXDTIzMTIyNjIxMDM1MVowLzEtMCsGA1UEAxMkZDA1\r\nYzQ1YjctNzdiMS00NDY0LThjNmEtMTQ0ZDJkZjM.......-----END CERTIFICATE-----" }, "management_project": { "id":2, "description":null, "name":"project2", "name_with_namespace":"John Doe8 / project2", "path":"project2", "path_with_namespace":"namespace2/project2", "created_at":"2019-10-11T02:55:54.138Z" }, "group": { "id":26, "name":"group-with-clusters-api", "web_url":"https://gitlab.example.com/group-with-clusters-api" } } ``` ## Add existing cluster to group Adds an existing Kubernetes cluster to the group. ```plaintext POST /groups/:id/clusters/user ``` Parameters: | Attribute | Type | Required | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `id` | integer/string | yes | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](index.md#namespaced-path-encoding) | | `name` | string | yes | The name of the cluster | | `domain` | string | no | The [base domain](../user/group/clusters/index.md#base-domain) of the cluster | | `management_project_id` | integer | no | The ID of the [management project](../user/clusters/management_project.md) for the cluster | | `enabled` | boolean | no | Determines if cluster is active or not, defaults to `true` | | `managed` | boolean | no | Determines if GitLab manages namespaces and service accounts for this cluster.
