I'm trying to figure out my cluster's name using the metadata from Kubernetes api at http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance?api-version=2021-02-01.
The returned resourceGroupName is built in the format of mc_[resource group name]_[cluster name]_[location], and splitting it by '_' is error-prone because both azure resource group name and cluster name can contain underscores.
I there another way of doing it?

The link you sent points to the Azure api and requires knowing the resource group name in advance which is what I'm trying to discover in the first place.
I'm looking for a way to do this from inside a cluster through the Kubernetes api.

2024-07-22T09:50:11.8966667+00:00 Again, I'm talking about querying the cluster through http://169.254.169.254/metadata, not using the azure api.

You can use the same API to obtain the managed cluster resource group name instead of splitting it using. The format is typically 'mc<resourceGroupName>_<location>'.
