A ServiceAccount provides an identity for processes that run in a Pod. A process inside a Pod can use the identity of its associated service account to authenticate to the cluster's API server. For an introduction to service accounts, read configure service accounts. This task guide explains some of the concepts behind ServiceAccounts. The guide also explains how to obtain or revoke tokens that represent ServiceAccounts. Before you begin You need to have a Kubernetes cluster, and the kubectl command-line tool must be configured to communicate with your cluster.

Overview A kubelet's HTTPS endpoint exposes APIs which give access to data of varying sensitivity, and allow you to perform operations with varying levels of power on the node and within containers. This document describes how to authenticate and authorize access to the kubelet's HTTPS endpoint. Kubelet authentication By default, requests to the kubelet's HTTPS endpoint that are not rejected by other configured authentication methods are treated as anonymous requests, and given a username of system:anonymous and a group of system:unauthenticated.

Synopsis Set the current-context in a kubeconfig file. kubectl config use-context CONTEXT_NAME Examples # Use the context for the minikube cluster kubectl config use-context minikube Options -h, --help help for use-context --as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. --as-group strings Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.

Synopsis Display merged kubeconfig settings or a specified kubeconfig file. You can use --output jsonpath={...} to extract specific values using a jsonpath expression. kubectl config view [flags] Examples # Show merged kubeconfig settings kubectl config view # Show merged kubeconfig settings, raw certificate data, and exposed secrets kubectl config view --raw # Get the password for the e2e user kubectl config view -o jsonpath='{.users[?(@.name == "e2e")].user.password}' Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template.

Synopsis Create a pod disruption budget with the specified name, selector, and desired minimum available pods. kubectl create poddisruptionbudget NAME --selector=SELECTOR --min-available=N [--dry-run=server|client|none] Examples # Create a pod disruption budget named my-pdb that will select all pods with the app=rails label # and require at least one of them being available at any point in time kubectl create poddisruptionbudget my-pdb --selector=app=rails --min-available=1 # Create a pod disruption budget named my-pdb that will select all pods with the app=nginx label # and require at least half of the pods selected to be available at any point in time kubectl create pdb my-pdb --selector=app=nginx --min-available=50% Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template.

Synopsis Set an individual value in a kubeconfig file. PROPERTY_NAME is a dot delimited name where each token represents either an attribute name or a map key. Map keys may not contain dots. PROPERTY_VALUE is the new value you want to set. Binary fields such as 'certificate-authority-data' expect a base64 encoded string unless the --set-raw-bytes flag is used. Specifying an attribute name that already exists will merge new fields on top of existing values.

Synopsis Delete the specified user from the kubeconfig. kubectl config delete-user NAME Examples # Delete the minikube user kubectl config delete-user minikube Options -h, --help help for delete-user --as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. --as-group strings Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. --as-uid string UID to impersonate for the operation.

Synopsis Restart a resource. Resource rollout will be restarted. kubectl rollout restart RESOURCE Examples # Restart all deployments in test-namespace namespace kubectl rollout restart deployment -n test-namespace # Restart a deployment kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx # Restart a daemon set kubectl rollout restart daemonset/abc # Restart deployments with the app=nginx label kubectl rollout restart deployment --selector=app=nginx Options --allow-missing-template-keys     Default: true If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template.

Synopsis Build a set of KRM resources using a 'kustomization.yaml' file. The DIR argument must be a path to a directory containing 'kustomization.yaml', or a git repository URL with a path suffix specifying same with respect to the repository root. If DIR is omitted, '.' is assumed. kubectl kustomize DIR [flags] Examples # Build the current working directory kubectl kustomize # Build some shared configuration directory kubectl kustomize /home/config/production # Build from github kubectl kustomize https://github.

Synopsis Create a service using a specified subcommand. kubectl create service [flags] Options -h, --help help for service --as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. --as-group strings Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. --as-uid string UID to impersonate for the operation. --cache-dir string     Default: "$HOME/.kube/cache" Default cache directory
