kubectl replace
kubectl replace
Replace a resource by filename or stdin
Synopsis
Replace a resource by filename or stdin.
JSON and YAML formats are accepted. If replacing an existing resource, the complete resource spec must be provided. This can be obtained by
$ kubectl get TYPE NAME -o yaml
Please refer to the models in https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/HEAD/docs/api-reference/v1/definitions.html to find if a field is mutable.
kubectl replace -f FILENAME
Examples
# Replace a pod using the data in pod.json.
kubectl replace -f ./pod.json
# Replace a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin.
cat pod.json | kubectl replace -f -
# Update a single-container pod's image version (tag) to v4
kubectl get pod mypod -o yaml | sed 's/\(image: myimage\):.*$/\1:v4/' | kubectl replace -f -
# Force replace, delete and then re-create the resource
kubectl replace --force -f ./pod.json
Options
--cascade Only relevant during a force replace. If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController).
-f, --filename stringSlice Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to replace the resource.
--force Delete and re-create the specified resource
--grace-period int Only relevant during a force replace. Period of time in seconds given to the old resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. (default -1)
-o, --output string Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
--record Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--save-config If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. This is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
--schema-cache-dir string If non-empty, load/store cached API schemas in this directory, default is '$HOME/.kube/schema' (default "~/.kube/schema")
--timeout duration Only relevant during a force replace. The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete of the old resource, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object. Any other values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h).
--validate If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it (default true)
Options inherited from parent commands
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files
--as string Username to impersonate for the operation
--certificate-authority string Path to a cert. file for the certificate authority
--client-certificate string Path to a client certificate file for TLS
--client-key string Path to a client key file for TLS
--cluster string The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
--context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use
--insecure-skip-tls-verify If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure
--kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
--log-backtrace-at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0)
--log-dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory
--logtostderr log to standard error instead of files
--match-server-version Require server version to match client version
-n, --namespace string If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
--password string Password for basic authentication to the API server
--request-timeout string The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests. (default "0")
-s, --server string The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr (default 2)
--token string Bearer token for authentication to the API server
--user string The name of the kubeconfig user to use
--username string Username for basic authentication to the API server
-v, --v Level log level for V logs
--vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
