opencenter cluster validate
Validate cluster configuration
Synopsis
Validate cluster configuration against schema and business rules.
This command performs comprehensive validation including: • Schema validation against JSON schema • Required field validation • Cross-field dependency validation • GitOps configuration and local repository validation • Network configuration validation • SOPS key validation
Validation mode is selected from global CLI config behavior.validation (default: offline) and can be overridden for one run with --validation. Offline mode does not contact providers, Git remotes, Kubernetes APIs, or external services. Online mode adds provider discovery/connectivity and Git remote checks.
Only v2 configurations (schema_version: "2.0") are supported. Configurations with any other schema version are invalid.
If no cluster name is provided, validates the currently active cluster.
