There was a problem hiding this comment.
Should we exclude init and ephemeral containers or there are some use-cases for them too?

yeah, i would leave it to pod creator to define what he think is the most important container logs he want to see.

What this PR does / why we need it:
This PR introduces the
kubectl.kubernetes.io/default-logs-containerannotation that can be placed on aPod. This annotation will causekubectl logsto preselect the container specified as value for this annotation. This helps in case the Pod has multiple containers, but only one container is interesting for logs. In that case, users don't have to pick the container name manually, by using the-coption or--all-containers.Additional documentation e.g., KEPs (Kubernetes Enhancement Proposals), usage docs, etc.:
