1. access the various k9s machines in cognitera

    2. I've placed a single, text-based config file sent to me by [StVa] in 2025-01 on mattermost in my home directory under: ~/.kube. I am then able to access (and open a shell into) all machines on various namespaces by launching the k9s program. I am also able to transfer files from them using the same text-based GUI. Once a specific pod is selected s can be used to open a shell on that pod, and t can be used to transfer files from that pod.

  2. notable machine names

    3. All of the below names exist in the cognitera-platform namespace.

    ubuntu-worker
    this is the machine where the PostgreSQL cluster used by IACS GUI is running. The location of the IACS DB binary dump files on that machine is given below: 
    /opt/database_backups/backups/eae_db
    cognitera-database-postgresql-primary-0 and cognitera-database-postgresql-read-0
    these two pods run the PostgreSQL server. Their names were obtained from a local shell on my ThinkStation P320 machine with the following incantantion: 
    kubectl get pods --context=cognitor-aks --namespace=cognitera-platform | grep "postgresql"
