- Get all `pods` ```bash kubectl get pods ``` - Get all `replicacontrollers` ```bash kubectl get replicacontrollers ``` - Get all `replicasets` ```bash kubectl get replicasets ``` - Describe a specific resource (ex. Describe a `deployment` named `myapp-deployment`) ```bash kubectl describe deployment/myapp-deployment # This works too kubectl describe deployment myapp-deployment ``` - Get specific resource information in wide format ```bash kubectl describe deployment/myapp-deployment -o wide ``` - Create a `deployment` ```bash kubectl create -f deployment.yml ``` - Update a deployment ```bash kubectl apply -f deployment.yml ``` - Check rollout/deployment history ```bash kubectl rollout history deployment/myapp-deployment ``` - Update a deployment, tracking changes (deprecated) ```bash kubectl apply -f deployment.yml --record ``` - Update a deployment using `annotate`(**Note:** Changes to `scale` will not create a new `deployment`. Annotating after this may result in the message for the previous `deployment` being replaced) ```bash # This assumes you've annotated the previous deployment already kubectl apply -f deployment.yml # Annotate the new deployment kubectl annotate deployment/myapp-deployment kubernetes.io/change-cause="DESCRIBE_CHANGES_HERE" # You can then view the rollout history kubectl rollout history deployment/myapp-deployment ```
