doctl kubernetes cluster command [options]

doctl kubernetes cluster manages DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) clusters. It provides complete lifecycle management for managed Kubernetes deployments including creation, configuration, upgrades, and deletion.
The command handles cluster provisioning with specified node pools, configures kubeconfig files for kubectl access, and manages version upgrades. DOKS abstracts control plane management, allowing users to focus on application deployment while DigitalOcean handles cluster infrastructure, etcd backups, and control plane updates.
Cluster operations include scaling node pools, managing worker node composition, and performing in-place Kubernetes version upgrades. The kubeconfig subcommand integrates clusters with local kubectl tooling for seamless cluster access.
