Formatting output

To output details to your terminal window in a specific format, add the -o (or --output ) flag to a

supported kubectl command (source: K8s docs)

List all pods in a namespace

or

or

List all pods in all namespaces

or

Create from an image

kubectl get pods -n <namespace>

kubectl -n <namespace> get pods

kubectl --namespace <namespace> get pods

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces

kubectl get pods -A

kubectl run <pod> --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=<image>

In the following cheatsheet, we will be using images such as nginx or busybox.

Example:

Run pod in an interactive shell mode

Run a command after creating a pod

Executing a command in a running pod

Or pass stdin to the container in TTY mode:

Example:

Create a pod: dry run mode (without really creating it)

Patch a pod

Example:

Another example:

Create from a YAML file

kubectl run nginx --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=nginx

kubectl run busybox --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=busybox

kubectl run -i --tty nginx --image=nginx -- sh

kubectl run busybox --image=busybox -- sleep 100000

kubectl exec <pod> -- <command>

kubectl exec -it <pod> -- <command>

kubectl exec -it nginx -- ls -lrth /app/

kubectl run <pod> --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=nginx --dry-run

kubectl patch pod <pod> -p '<patch>'

kubectl patch pod <pod> -p '{"spec":{"containers":[{"name":"kubernetes-servehostname","image":"new image"}]}}'

kubectl patch pod valid-pod --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path":

"/spec/containers/0/image", "value":"new image"}]'

Export YAML from the dry run mode

Create from STDIN

Create multiple resources from STDIN

Create in a namespace

Create in a namespace from a file

kubectl create -f pod.yaml

kubectl run nginx --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=nginx --dry-run -o yaml

cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

name: nginx-pod

spec:

containers:

- name: nginx

image: nginx:latest

EOF

cat <<EOF | kubectl create -f -

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

name: nginx-pod

spec:

containers:

- name: nginx

image: nginx:latest

---

apiVersion: v1

kind: Pod

metadata:

name: busybox

spec:

containers:

- name: busybox

image: busybox

args:

- sleep

- "100"

kubectl run nginx --generator=run-pod/v1 --image=nginx -n <namespace>

kubectl create -f pod.yaml -n <namespace>

Delete pods

or

If you create the pod from a file, you can also use:

To force deletion:

Get pod logs

or

Sometimes a pod contains more than 1 container. You need to filter the output to get logs for a

specific container(s)

To follow the logs output (tail -f):

If you need to output the logs for all pods with a label

Example:

You can also view logs in a multi container case with labels:

Or view all cotainers logs with a given label:

List all container id of init container of all pods

kubectl delete pod/<pod>

kubectl delete pod <pod>

kubectl delete -f pod.yaml

kubectl delete pod <pod> --grace-period=0 --force

kubectl logs <pod>

kubectl logs <pod> -c <container>

kubectl logs -f <pod>

kubectl logs -l <label_name>=<label_value>

kubectl logs -l env=prod

kubectl logs -l <label_name>=<label_value> -c <container>

kubectl logs -f -l <label_name>=<label_value> --all-containers

Show metrics for a given pod

Show metrics for a given pod and all its containers

Deployments

Create a deployment

or

Create a deployment with a predefined replica number

Create a deployment with a predefined replica number and

opening a port

Example:

Note: The default generator for kubectl run is --generator=deployment/apps.v1 .

Note: --generator=deployment/apps.v1 is deprecated and will be removed in future versions.

Use kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 or kubectl create instead.

Create a deployment with a predefined replica number,

opening a port and exposing it

Get a deployment

kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o jsonpath='{range

.items[*].status.initContainerStatuses[*]}{.containerID}{"\n"}{end}' | cut -d/ -

f3

kubectl top pod <pod>

kubectl top pod <pod> --containers

kubectl run <deployment> --image=<image>

kubectl create deployment <deployment> --image=<image>

kubectl run <deployment> --image=<image> --replicas=<number>

kubectl run <deployment> --image=<image> --replicas=<replicas> --port=<port>

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80 --expose

Watch a deployment

or

Or using a shorter version:

Or even the longer one:

List all deployments

Same as listing pods, you have multiple options from namespace to output formatters:

Update the image

Rolling update "nginx" containers of "nginx" deployment, updating the image:

Rolling update "api" containers of "backend" deployment, updating the image:

Scale a deployment

Note: You can use a shorter version:

kubectl get deploy <deployment>

kubectl get deployment <deployment> --watch

kubectl get deployment <deployment> -w

kubectl get deploy <deployment> -w

kubectl get deployments.apps <deployment> --watch

kubectl get deploy -n <namespace>

kubectl get deploy --all-namespaces

kubectl get deploy -A

kubectl get deploy -oyaml

kubectl get deploy -owide

kubectl set image deployment/nginx nginx=nginx:1.9.1

kubectl set image deployment/backend api=image:v2

kubectl scale --replicas=5 deployment/<deployment>

kubectl scale --replicas=5 deploy/<deployment>

Dry run and YAML output

Create a deployment from a file

Edit a deployment

Rollback deployment

After editing your deployment, you had an error, a solution can be rolling back to the old

deployment status:

Get rollout history

You can check the rollout history:

Example:

gives you:

Roll back to a previous revision

Using the information from the rollout history, we can get back our deployment to a given

revision:

Example:

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80 --dry-run -o yaml

kubectl apply -f deployment.yaml

kubectl edit deployment/<deployment>

kubectl rollout undo deployment <deployment>

kubectl rollout history deployment <deployment>

kubectl rollout history deployment <deployment>

kubectl rollout history deployment nginx

REVISION CHANGE-CAUSE

2 kubectl set image deployment/nginx nginx=nginx:1.9.1 --record=true

3 <none>

kubectl rollout undo deployment <deployment> --to-revision=<revision>

kubectl rollout undo deployment nginx --to-revision=2

Execute deployment rollout operations

Port Forwarding

Choosing localhost port

Example:

Forward to localhost 8090 from pod 6379:

Listening on the same port

Example: Listen on ports 8000 and 9000 on localhost, forwarded from the same ports in the pod

(8000 and 9000)

Listen on a random port locally

Example:

Listen on port on localhost + another IP

Example:

Listen on a forwarded port on all addresses

kubectl rollout status deployment <deployment>

kubectl rollout pause deployment <deployment>

kubectl rollout resume deployment <deployment>

kubectl port-forward deployment <deployment> <locahost-port>:<deployment-port>

kubectl port-forward pod <pod> <locahost-port>:<pod-port>

kubectl port-forward redis 8090:6379

kubectl port-forward pod <pod> <port>

kubectl port-forward pod nginx 8000 9000

kubectl port-forward pod <pod> :<pod-port>

kubectl port-forward pod nginx :80

kubectl port-forward --address localhost,<IP.IP.IP.IP> pod <pod> <locahostport>:<pod-port>

kubectl port-forward --address localhost,10.10.10.1 pod redis 8090:6379

Verbosity Description

--v=0 Generally useful for this to always be visible to a cluster operator.

--v=1 A reasonable default log level if you don't want verbosity.

--v=2

Useful steady state information about the service and important log

messages that may correlate to significant changes in the system. This is the

recommended default log level for most systems.

--v=3 Extended information about changes.

--v=4 Debug level verbosity.

--v=6 Display requested resources.

--v=7 Display HTTP request headers.

--v=8 Display HTTP request contents.

--v=9 Display HTTP request contents without truncation of contents.

(Table source: K8s docs)

the cluster would be in if the manifest was applied

List all images running in a cluster

Kubectl context

Alias

Create an alias on *nix

Kubectl imperative (create) vs declarative (apply)

Create

You tell your cluster what you want to create, replace or delete, not how you want you it to look

like.

Apply

You tell your cluster how you want it to look like.

The creation, deletion and modification of objects is done via a single command. The declarative

approach is a statement of the desired end result.

If the deployment is deleted in <deployment-filename> , it will also be deleted from the cluster.
