kubectl get po --all-namespaces

List all the pods in the particular namespace 

kubectl get po -n <namespace name>

List all the services in the particular namespace 

kubectl get svc -n <namespace name>

List all the pods showing name and namespace with a json path expression 

kubectl get pods -o=jsonpath="{.items[*]['metadata.name', 'metadata.namespace']}"

Create an nginx pod in a default namespace and verify the pod running 

// creating a pod
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never

// List the pod
kubectl get po

Create the same nginx pod with a yaml file 

// get the yaml file with --dry-run flag
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never --dry-run -o yaml > nginx-pod.yaml

// cat nginx-pod.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    run: nginx
  name: nginx
spec:
  containers:
  - image: nginx
    name: nginx
    resources: {}
  dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
  restartPolicy: Never
status: {}

// create a pod 
kubectl create -f nginx-pod.yaml

Output the yaml file of the pod you just created 

kubectl get po nginx -o yaml

Output the yaml file of the pod you just created without the cluster-specific information 

kubectl get po nginx -o yaml --export

Get the complete details of the pod you just created 

kubectl describe pod nginx

Delete the pod you just created 

kubectl delete po nginx

kubectl delete -f nginx-pod.yaml

Delete the pod you just created without any delay (force delete) 

kubectl delete po nginx --grace-period=0 --force

Create the nginx pod with version 1.17.4 and expose it on port 80 

kubectl run nginx --image=nginx:1.17.4 --restart=Never --port=80

Change the Image version to 1.15-alpine for the pod you just created and verify the image version is updated 

kubectl set image pod/nginx nginx=nginx:1.15-alpine

kubectl describe po nginx

// another way it will open vi editor and change the version
kubeclt edit po nginx

kubectl describe po nginx

Change the Image version back to 1.17.1 for the pod you just updated and observe the changes 

kubectl set image pod/nginx nginx=nginx:1.17.1

kubectl describe po nginx

kubectl get po nginx -w # watch it

Check the Image version without the describe command 

kubectl get po nginx -o jsonpath='{.spec.containers[].image}{"\n"}'

Create the nginx pod and execute the simple shell on the pod 

// creating a pod
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never

// exec into the pod
kubectl exec -it nginx /bin/sh

Get the IP Address of the pod you just created 

kubectl get po nginx -o wide

Create a busybox pod and run command ls while creating it and check the logs 

kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never -- ls

kubectl logs busybox

If pod crashed check the previous logs of the pod 

kubectl logs busybox -p

Create a busybox pod with command sleep 3600 

kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never -- /bin/sh -c "sleep 3600"

Check the connection of the nginx pod from the busybox pod 

kubectl get po nginx -o wide

// check the connection
kubectl exec -it busybox -- wget -o- <IP Address>

Create a busybox pod and echo message ‘How are you’ and delete it manually 

kubectl run busybox --image=nginx --restart=Never -it -- echo "How are you"

kubectl delete po busybox

Create a busybox pod and echo message ‘How are you’ and have it deleted immediately 

// notice the --rm flag
kubectl run busybox --image=nginx --restart=Never -it --rm -- echo "How are you"

Create an nginx pod and list the pod with different levels of verbosity 

// create a pod
kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=Never --port=80

// List the pod with different verbosity
kubectl get po nginx --v=7
kubectl get po nginx --v=8
kubectl get po nginx --v=9

List the nginx pod with custom columns POD_NAME and POD_STATUS 

kubectl get po -o=custom-columns="POD_NAME:.metadata.name, POD_STATUS:.status.containerStatuses[].state"

List all the pods sorted by name 

kubectl get pods --sort-by=.metadata.name

List all the pods sorted by created timestamp
