To make it possible to refresh Kubernetes clusters responsible all places that used ClusterDetails[] before now use the KubernetesClustersSupplier directly and call getClusters() on it. This allows people to use implement custom KubernetesClustersSuppliers that fetch the clusters from somewhere and refresh them using whatever mechanism they might need.

Kubernetes Backend
This is the backend part of the Kubernetes plugin for Backstage. It is called by and responds to requests from the frontend @backstage/plugin-kubernetes plugin.
It directly interfaces with the Kubernetes API control plane to obtain information about objects that will then be presented at the front end.
Introduction
See our announcement blog post New Backstage feature: Kubernetes for Service Owners to learn more about the motivation behind developing the plugin.
Setup & Configuration
This plugin must be explicitly added to a Backstage app, along with it's peer frontend plugin.
The plugin requires configuration in the Backstage app-config.yaml to connect to a Kubernetes API control plane.
In addition, configuration of an entity's catalog-info.yaml helps identify which specific Kubernetes object(s) should be presented on a specific entity catalog page.
For more information, see the formal documentation about the Kubernetes feature in Backstage.
