What parameters are required when using the kubectl config set-cluster command to add a cluster to the kubeconfig file?

When using the kubectl config set-cluster command to add a cluster to the kubeconfig file, the following parameters are required:

1. Cluster Name: This is the name you want to assign to the cluster. It is specified as the first argument in the command.

2. --server: This parameter specifies the URL of the Kubernetes API server that the cluster will connect to.

3. --certificate-authority: This optional parameter points to the file path of the certificate authority (CA) certificate used to verify the server's identity. It is important for establishing secure communication.

Here’s an example of how to use the command with the required parameters:
