This cheatsheet contains a list of most common commands you will use when working with Kubernetes cluster and its resources.
If you're working with Kubernetes on daily basis or if you're just learning about Kubernetes you will run into a set of commands that are used often than the other commands. The ones used more often are also usually easy to remember (especially if you're typing them out multiple times a day).
The problem becomes when you're either trying to do something more advanced or run a command against a resource you're aren't using very often or not too familiar with it. This is where this cheatsheet comes into play - it will help you quickly find the command you want, so you can copy & paste it, run it and move on.
This cheatsheet is organized into multiple sections that are based on the actions you are trying to perform against Kubernetes resources. Each section contains a table with the command and the explanation of what that command does.
Welcome friends! I am glad you've decided to either learn more about kubectl or just trying to find some useful commands or ideas. First things first - since you're here, I am assuming you have a Kubernetes cluster running and have access to it and you also have kubectl installed.
The commands in this cheatsheet are all using the full name of the Kubernetes CLI - kubectl. If you'll be working with Kubernetes often, I strongly advise you to create an alias for that command - it will save you a lot of typing in the long run. If you want to take this to another level, check out this set of Kubectl aliases.
To create an alias for kubectl, you can run the following command:
Or just put it directly in your ~/.bash_profile file:
echo "alias k='kubectl'" >> ~/.bash_profile
In most of the example below, I am using a pod resource as an example - you can replace pod with any other Kubernetes resource (unless the commnd is specific to that one reasource only).
I am also using the full resource names such as pod, deployment etc. but you don't have to. Refer to the Resource names section for short resource names such as po, svc or deploy.
Let's get started!
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl get pod mypod | Lists the pod with name mypod in the current namespace |
kubectl get pod | Lists all pods in the current namespace |
kubectl get pod -n mynamespace | Lists all pods in mynamespace namespace |
kubectl get pod --all-namespaces | Lists all pods in all namespaces |
kubectl get pod --all-namespaces -o wide | Lists all pods in all namespaces with IP and Node |
kubectl get all --all-namespaces | Lists all resources in the cluster |
kubectl describe pod mypod | Describes the resource in mor details (perfect for diagnosing issues) |
kubectl get pod --show-labels | Shows the labels next to all pods |
kubectl explain pod | Shows documentation for the resource (e.g. pod in our case) |
kubectl get pod mypod -o yaml | Shows the YAML representation of the pod called mypod |
kubectl get pod mypod -o json | Shows the JSON representation of the pod called mypod |
kubectl cluster-info | Shows information about the cluster |
kubectl describe | Lists all resource names |
kubectl get pod -w | Watches the pods (useful when waiting for e.g. pods to start) |
Note
Note 1: replace the
podin above commands with any other resource (e.g.service,deployment, ...)
Note
Note 2: use the short name for resources. For example:
poforpods,svcforservice,deployfordeployment, etc.
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl get pod --selector="app=myapp" | Lists all pods with label app=myapp |
kubectl get pod --selector="app=myapp" -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.name}' | Get the pod names that have the label app=myapp set |
kubectl get pod --selector="app=myapp" -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].image}' | Get the image names of pods that have the label app=myapp set |
kubectl get pod mypod -o jsonpath='{.items[*].status.podIP}' | Get the pod IPs of the mypod |
kubectl get pod mypod -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[0].ports[0].containerPort}' | Get the first container port in the pod |
kubectl -v 9 get pod | Gets the pods with maximum (9) verbosity |
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl get pod --sory-by=.metadata.name | Lists the pods and sorts them by their names |
kubectl get pod --sory-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp | Lists the pods by creation time, oldest first |
kubectl get pod -l app=myapp | Show pods that have the label app=myapp set |
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl label pod mypod mylabel=myvalue | Adds the label mylabel=myvalue to the pod named mypod |
kubectl label pod mypod mylabel- | Removes the mylabel from the pod named mypod |
kubectl get pod mypod -o jsonpath='{.items[*].metadata.annotations}' | Get all annotations for the pod named mypod |
kubectl annotate pod mypod name=value | Add an annotation name=value to the pod named mypod |
kubectl annotate pod mypod name- | Removes the annotation name from the pod named mypod |
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl create -f ./file.yaml | Create resources defined in file file.yaml |
kubectl delete -f ./file.yaml | Delete resources defined in file file.yaml |
kubectl delete pod mypod | Delete a pod named mypod in the current namespace |
kubectl run mypod --image=myimage | Creates a pod (and deployment) called mypod with image myimage |
kubectl run mypod --image=myimage --port=8080 | Creates a pod (and deployment) called mypod with image myimage and exposes port 8080 |
| Command | Explanation |
|---|---|
kubectl run curl --image=radial/busyboxplus:curl -i --tty | Runs the radial/busyboxplus:curl image and gives you a terminal into it (useful for accessing pods/services within the cluster) |
kubectl port-forward mypod 8080:CONTAINER_PORT | Forwards the local port 8080 to CONTAINER_PORT (replace this with actual container port number) |
kubectl expose deployment mydeployment --type="NodePort" --port 8080 | Exposes deployment mydeployment to external traffic and makes it available on port 8080 |
kubectl exec -it mypod -- /bin/bash | Runs the /bin/bash (terminal) inside the pod called mypod |
kubectl attach mypod | Watch the standard output of a container in real time |
kubectl cp mypod:/some/path/file.txt . | Copies the file /some/path/file.txt from mypod to the current directory |
Here's the list of all Kubernetes resource names and their shorthand equivalents (if available).
Note
Note: you also run
kubectl describeto get a list of these.
