Notes
-----

.. note::
   - To avoid SSL certificate validation errors when ``validate_certs`` is *True*, the full certificate chain for the API server must be provided via ``ca_cert`` or in the kubeconfig file.



Examples
--------

.. code-block:: yaml

    - name: Get Cluster information
      kubernetes.core.k8s_cluster_info:
      register: api_status

    - name: Do not invalidate cache before getting information
      kubernetes.core.k8s_cluster_info:
        invalidate_cache: False
      register: api_status
