Kubernetes Sample Commands

Below is a Kubernetes cheat sheet, which lists various useful commands that can be used with kubectl command-line interface to manage Kubernetes clusters. These commands cover a range of tasks, such as creating and managing deployments, pods, and services, querying resource usage, deleting resources, and more. Examples include running tests using temporary pods, checking node and pod resource usage, and deleting resources by labels. Additionally, the cheat sheet also provides tips on how to enable shell autocompletion for kubectl, and how to open a bash terminal in a pod.


Run curl test temporarily 
kubectl run --rm mytest --image=yauritux/busybox-curl -it
Run wget test temporarily 
kubectl run --rm mytest --image=busybox -it
Run nginx deployment with 2 replicas 
kubectl run my-nginx --image=nginx --replicas=2 --port=80
List everything 
kubectl get all --all-namespaces
List pods with nodes info 
kubectl get pod -o wide
Show nodes with labels
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
Validate yaml file with dry run
kubectl create --dry-run --validate -f pod-dummy.yaml
Start a temporary pod for testing
kubectl run --rm -i -t --image=alpine test-$RANDOM -- sh
