Suppose you want to view the whatever.yaml you applied. Is there a way to generate this file?

Note: kubectl describe crd foos.samplecontroller.k8s.io would give a lot of extra information. There’s a better way view-last-applied

Here’s an example, for a CRD.


kubectl apply view-last-applied crd foos.samplecontroller.k8s.io -o yaml

apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: CustomResourceDefinition
metadata:
  annotations: {}
  labels:
    tag: foo
  name: foos.samplecontroller.k8s.io
spec:
  group: samplecontroller.k8s.io
  names:
    kind: Foo
    plural: foos
  scope: Namespaced
  version: v1alpha1

Deployment


k get deployment

NAME             READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
