    - from_pod
    default: to_pod
    description:

      to I(remote_path) into the pod.
    - When set to C(from_pod), the remote file or directory I(remote_path) from pod will
      be copied locally to I(local_path).
    type: str

      chain must be provided to avoid certificate validation errors. Can also be specified
      via K8S_AUTH_SSL_CA_CERT environment variable.
    type: path

content:
    description:
    - When used instead of I(local_path), sets the contents of a local file directly to
      the specified value.
    - Works only when I(remote_path) is a file. Creates the file if it does not exist.
    - For advanced formatting or if the content contains a variable, use the M(ansible.builtin.template)
      module.
    - Mutually exclusive with I(local_path).

      (e.g. NO_PROXY).

      19.15.0, it fails even no_proxy set in correct.
    - example value is "localhost,.local,.example.com,127.0.0.1,127.0.0.0/8,10.0.0.0/8,172.16.0.0/12,192.168.0.0/16"

      environment variable.
    - Please note that this only works with clusters configured to use HTTP Basic Auth.
      If your cluster has a different form of authentication (e.g. OAuth2 in OpenShift),
      this option will not work as expected and you should look into the M(community.okd.k8s_auth)
      module, as that might do what you need.

persist_config:
    description:
    - Whether or not to save the kube config refresh tokens. Can also be specified via
      K8S_AUTH_PERSIST_CONFIG environment variable.
    - When the k8s context is using a user credentials with refresh tokens (like oidc
      or gke/gcloud auth), the token is refreshed by the k8s python client library but
      not saved by default. So the old refresh token can expire and the next auth might
      fail. Setting this flag to true will tell the k8s python client to save the new
      refresh token to the kube config file.
    - Default to false.
    - Please note that the current version of the k8s python client library does not support
      setting this flag to True yet.
