# Connecting to Google Kubernetes Engine
You can connect a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE Cluster) using Application Default Credentials.
To obtain a credentials file to upload, you should:
1. Install the **gcloud** Command Line Interface
1. Run the command: `gcloud auth application-default login`
1. Authenticate with Google in the opened web browser to obtain credentials
A credentials file will be written to:
```
~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
```
This is the file that you should use when connecting in the endpoint connection dialog.
> Note: You may need to copy this file to a non-hidden folder in order to be able to browse to it in the UI (or enable hidden files in your OS's file browser)
> Note: For more information on obtaining Application Default Credentials, refer to https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/auth/application-default/login
