kubectl create
kubectl create
Create a resource by filename or stdin
Synopsis
Create a resource by filename or stdin.
JSON and YAML formats are accepted.
kubectl create -f FILENAME
Examples
# Create a pod using the data in pod.json.
kubectl create -f ./pod.json
# Create a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin.
cat pod.json | kubectl create -f -
# Edit the data in docker-registry.yaml in JSON using the v1 API format then create the resource using the edited data.
kubectl create -f docker-registry.yaml --edit --output-version=v1 -o json
Options
--dry-run If true, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
--edit Edit the API resource before creating
-f, --filename stringSlice Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to create the resource
--no-headers When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers.
-o, --output string Output format. One of: json|yaml|wide|name|custom-columns=...|custom-columns-file=...|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=... See custom columns [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/#custom-columns], golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jsonpath].
--output-version string Output the formatted object with the given group version (for ex: 'extensions/v1beta1').
--record Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--save-config If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. This is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
--schema-cache-dir string If non-empty, load/store cached API schemas in this directory, default is '$HOME/.kube/schema' (default "~/.kube/schema")
-a, --show-all When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
--show-labels When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)
--sort-by string If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
--template string Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
--validate If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it (default true)
--windows-line-endings Only relevant if --edit=true. Use Windows line-endings (default Unix line-endings)
