Synopsis Update the labels on a resource. A label key and value must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores, up to 63 characters each. Optionally, the key can begin with a DNS subdomain prefix and a single '/', like example.com/my-app. If --overwrite is true, then existing labels can be overwritten, otherwise attempting to overwrite a label will result in an error.

Synopsis Update the taints on one or more nodes. A taint consists of a key, value, and effect. As an argument here, it is expressed as key=value:effect. The key must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores, up to 253 characters. Optionally, the key can begin with a DNS subdomain prefix and a single '/', like example.com/my-app. The value is optional. If given, it must begin with a letter or number, and may contain letters, numbers, hyphens, dots, and underscores, up to 63 characters.

Synopsis Set a new size for a deployment, replica set, replication controller, or stateful set. Scale also allows users to specify one or more preconditions for the scale action. If --current-replicas or --resource-version is specified, it is validated before the scale is attempted, and it is guaranteed that the precondition holds true when the scale is sent to the server. kubectl scale [--resource-version=version] [--current-replicas=count] --replicas=COUNT (-f FILENAME | TYPE NAME) Examples # Scale a replica set named 'foo' to 3 kubectl scale --replicas=3 rs/foo # Scale a resource identified by type and name specified in "foo.

Synopsis Create an ExternalName service with the specified name. ExternalName service references to an external DNS address instead of only pods, which will allow application authors to reference services that exist off platform, on other clusters, or locally. kubectl create service externalname NAME --external-name external.name [--dry-run=server|client|none] Examples # Create a new ExternalName service named my-ns kubectl create service externalname my-ns --external-name bar.com 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 cron job with the specified name. kubectl create cronjob NAME --image=image --schedule='0/5 * * * ?' -- [COMMAND] [args...] [flags] Examples # Create a cron job kubectl create cronjob my-job --image=busybox --schedule="*/1 * * * *" # Create a cron job with a command kubectl create cronjob my-job --image=busybox --schedule="*/1 * * * *" -- date 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 Edit a resource from the default editor. The edit command allows you to directly edit any API resource you can retrieve via the command-line tools. It will open the editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR, or EDITOR environment variables, or fall back to 'vi' for Linux or 'notepad' for Windows. When attempting to open the editor, it will first attempt to use the shell that has been defined in the 'SHELL' environment variable.

Resource Types CloudControllerManagerConfiguration LeaderMigrationConfiguration KubeControllerManagerConfiguration NodeControllerConfiguration Appears in: CloudControllerManagerConfiguration NodeControllerConfiguration contains elements describing NodeController. FieldDescription ConcurrentNodeSyncs [Required] int32 ConcurrentNodeSyncs is the number of workers concurrently synchronizing nodes ServiceControllerConfiguration Appears in: CloudControllerManagerConfiguration KubeControllerManagerConfiguration ServiceControllerConfiguration contains elements describing ServiceController. FieldDescription ConcurrentServiceSyncs [Required] int32 concurrentServiceSyncs is the number of services that are allowed to sync concurrently. Larger number = more responsive service management, but more CPU (and network) load. CloudControllerManagerConfiguration CloudControllerManagerConfiguration contains elements describing cloud-controller manager.

Resource Types DefaultPreemptionArgs InterPodAffinityArgs KubeSchedulerConfiguration NodeAffinityArgs NodeResourcesBalancedAllocationArgs NodeResourcesFitArgs PodTopologySpreadArgs VolumeBindingArgs ClientConnectionConfiguration Appears in: KubeSchedulerConfiguration ClientConnectionConfiguration contains details for constructing a client. FieldDescription kubeconfig [Required] string kubeconfig is the path to a KubeConfig file. acceptContentTypes [Required] string acceptContentTypes defines the Accept header sent by clients when connecting to a server, overriding the default value of 'application/json'. This field will control all connections to the server used by a particular client. contentType [Required] string contentType is the content type used when sending data to the server from this client.

This page contains guidelines for Kubernetes documentation. If you have questions about what's allowed, join the #sig-docs channel in Kubernetes Slack and ask! You can register for Kubernetes Slack at https://slack.k8s.io/. For information on creating new content for the Kubernetes docs, follow the style guide. Overview Source for the Kubernetes website, including the docs, resides in the kubernetes/website repository. Located in the kubernetes/website/content/<language_code>/docs folder, the majority of Kubernetes documentation is specific to the Kubernetes project.

Adding entries to a Pod's /etc/hosts file provides Pod-level override of hostname resolution when DNS and other options are not applicable. You can add these custom entries with the HostAliases field in PodSpec. The Kubernetes project recommends modifying DNS configuration using the hostAliases field (part of the .spec for a Pod), and not by using an init container or other means to edit /etc/hosts directly. Change made in other ways may be overwritten by the kubelet during Pod creation or restart.
