Kubectl Aliases

Fun with kubectl aliases (for the lazy DevOps guys)

The kubernetes masters .bashrc does get quite some aliases defined, whereby the schema is shown below:

base	[system?]	[operation]	[resource]	[flags]
kubectl	-n=kube-system	get	pods	oyaml
		describe	deployment	ojson
		rm:delete	secret	owide
		logs	ingress	all
		exec	node	watch
		apply	svc	file
			ns	l
			cm

To give a concrete example, a small alias like

kd → kubectl describe

or a more complex one:

kgdepallw → kubectl get deployment —all-namespaces —watch
