These commands will return the appropriate artifacts for the default namespace.
Nodes, Podes, Deployments, or Services, for example:
kubectl get nodes
kubectl get pods
kubectl get deployments
kubectl get services
kubectl get deployments postgres
You can add --all-namespaces to any of the above commands in this section to see content from all namespaces, for example:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces
kubectl get namespaces
Delete pods, services named 'hello-minikube'
kubectl delete pods,services hello-minikube
Delete service named hpa-example in development namespace
kubectl delete service hpa-example -n development
Delete deployment named hpa-example in development namespace
kubectl delete deployment hpa-example -n development
Delete all pods in namespace 'foo'
kubectl delete --all pods --namespace=foo
delete all namespaces
kubectl delete --all namespaces
Delete everything with an app label of 'postgres'
kubectl delete daemonset,replicaset,service,deployment,pods,rc,pvc,pv,configmap --selector=app=postgres
Delete EVERYTHING
kubectl delete daemonsets,replicasets,services,deployments,pods,rc,pvc,pv,configmap --all
Autoscale (HPA)
kubectl autoscale deployment hpa-example -n development --cpu-percent=50 --min=1 --max=10
Delete all HPAs in the development namespace
kubectl delete hpa --all -n development
Delete HPA named hpa-example in development namespace
kubectl delete hpa -n development hpa-example
Persistent volumes are an important part of production life, but because minikube boots to tmpfs, it wipes most things across reboots, unless stored in one of a few designated directories.
List persistent volumes
kubectl get pv
List persistent volume claims
kubectl get pvc
Delete persistent volume named postgres
kubectl delete pv postgres
