If you work with more than one Kubernetes cluster, context mistakes are inevitable unless you build a habit around checking and switching contexts. kubectl contexts let you swap clusters, users, and namespaces while using a single kubeconfig file — but the commands are easy to forget until you need them.

- How to show the currently active context
- How to list all available contexts from your kubeconfig
- How to switch to a different context safely (and verify it worked)
- Common pitfalls that lead to “wrong cluster” operations and how to avoid them
