kubectl describe [page]deterministic

##

Show details of a specific resource or group of resources.

Print a detailed description of the selected resources, including related resources such as events or controllers. You may select a single object by name, all objects of that type, provide a name prefix, or label selector. For example:

$ kubectl describe TYPE NAME_PREFIX will first check for an exact match on TYPE and NAME_PREFIX. If no such resource exists, it will output details for every resource that has a name prefixed with NAME_PREFIX.

Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources.

``` kubectl describe (-f FILENAME | TYPE [NAME_PREFIX | -l label] | TYPE/NAME) ```

``` # Describe a node kubectl describe nodes kubernetes-node-emt8.c.myproject.internal # Describe a pod kubectl describe pods/nginx # Describe a pod identified by type and name in "pod.json" kubectl describe -f pod.json # Describe all pods kubectl describe pods # Describe pods by label name=myLabel kubectl describe pods -l name=myLabel # Describe all pods managed by the 'frontend' replication controller # (rc-created pods get the name of the rc as a prefix in the pod name) kubectl describe pods frontend ```
