# Get pods that match a label

kubectl get pods -l <label>=<value> Deployments
# Forward traffic from a localhost port to a pod port # Get all deployments in the current namespace

kubectl get services
# Get ingress with more details
# Get services in all namespaces
kubectl get ingress -o wide
kubectl get service --all-namespaces

# Get services with more details
kubectl get ingress <ingress> -o yaml
kubectl get service -o wide
# Inspect a ingress
# Get the yaml for a services
kubectl describe ingress <ingress>
kubectl get service <service> -o yaml

kubectl get ingress --show-labels
kubectl describe service <service>
# Get ingress that match a label
# Get service's labels
kubectl get ingress -l <label>=<value>
kubectl get service --show-labels

# Get services that match a label

kubectl get service -l <label>=<value> Creating Resources
# Create a kubernetes resource from a file
kubectl apply -f ./<manifest>.yaml
Updating Resources
# Create kubernetes resources from multiple files
# Roll a new version of a deployment
kubectl apply -f ./<manifest>.yaml -f ./<manifest>.yaml
kubectl set image deployment/<deployment> <container-
name>=image:<version>
# Create resources from all manifest files in a directory
kubectl apply -f ./<directory>
# Check the deployment history
kubectl rollout history deployment/<deployment>
# Create resource from a url
kubectl apply -f <url_to_manifest>
# Rollback a deployment
kubectl rollout undo deployment/<deployment>
# Start a single instance of an image
kubectl create deployment <deployment_name> --
# Rollback to a specific version
image=<image>
kubectl rollout undo deployment/<deployment> --to-revision=2

# Watch a rolling update

kubectl rollout status -w deployment/<deployment> Nodes
# Mark node as unschedulable
# Restart the rolling deploy kubectl cordon <node>
kubectl rollout restart deployment/<deployment>
# Drain a node for maintenance
# Edit a resource’s yaml kubectl drain <node>
kubectl edit deployment/<deployment>
# Mark node as schedulable
# Scale a deployment to 3 pods kubectl uncordon <node>
kubectl scale --replicas=3 deployment/<deployment>
# Show ‘top’ metrics for a node
# Delete a pod kubectl top node <node>
kubectl delete pod <pod>
# Display addresses of the master and services
kubectl cluster-info
Context
# Dump current cluster state to stdout
# Show contexts
kubectl cluster-info dump
kubectl config get-contexts
# Show a list of eligible kube resource (i.e. pods, service, pv,
# Show current context
etc)
kubectl config current-context
kubectl api-resources
# Switch context to another cluster
# Show a list of eligible kube resources in your namespace
kubectl config use-context <my-cluster-name>
kubectl api-resources --namespaced=true
# Change Namespace
kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=<namespace>
