Kubernetes Cheat Sheet

Here's, are available regular Kubernetes commands. I think those are helpful for everyone that's why I am sharing it. I'm also using those command regularly.

Cluster Introspection

kubectl get services                                                    # List all services 
kubectl get pods                                                        # List all pods
kubectl get nodes -w                                                    # Watch nodes continuously
kubectl version                                                         # Get version information
kubectl cluster-info                                                    # Get cluster information
kubectl config view                                                     # Get the configuration
kubectl describe node <node>                                            # Output information about a node

Pod and Container Introspection

kubectl get pods                                                        # List the current pods
kubectl describe pod <name>                                             # Describe pod <name>
kubectl get rc                                                          # List the replication controllers
kubectl get rc --namespace="<namespace>"                                # List the replication controllers in <namespace>
kubectl describe rc <name>                                              # Describe replication controller <name>
kubectl get svc                                                         # List the services
kubectl describe svc <name>                                             # Describe service <name>

Interacting with Pods

kubectl run <name> --image=<image-name>                                 # Launch a pod called <name> 
                                                                        # using image <image-name>

kubectl create -f <manifest.yaml>                                       # Create a service described 
                                                                        # in <manifest.yaml>

kubectl scale --replicas=<count> rc <name>                              # Scale replication controller 
                                                                        # <name> to <count> instances

kubectl expose rc <name> --port=<external> --target-port=<internal>     # Map port <external> to 
                                                                        # port <internal> on replication 
                                                                        # controller <name>

Stopping Kubernetes

kubectl delete pod <name>                                               # Delete pod <name>
kubectl delete rc <name>                                                # Delete replication controller <name>
kubectl delete svc <name>                                               # Delete service <name>
kubectl drain <n> --delete-local-data --force --ignore-daemonsets       # Stop all pods on <n>
kubectl delete node <name>                                              # Remove <node> from the cluster

Debugging

kubectl exec <service> <command> [-c <$container>]                      # execute <command> on <service>, optionally 
                                                                        # selecting container <$container>

kubectl logs -f <name> [-c <$container>]                                # Get logs from service <name>, optionally
                                                                        # selecting container <$container>

watch -n 2 cat /var/log/kublet.log                                      # Watch the Kublet logs
kubectl top node                                                        # Show metrics for nodes
kubectl top pod                                                         # Show metrics for pods

Administration

kubeadm init                                                            # Initialize your master node
kubeadm join --token <token> <master-ip>:<master-port>                  # Join a node to your Kubernetes cluster
kubectl create namespace <namespace>                                    # Create namespace <name>
kubectl taint nodes --all node-role.kubernetes.io/master-               # Allow Kubernetes master nodes to run pods
kubeadm reset                                                           # Reset current state
kubectl get secrets                                                     # List all secrets
