kubectl explain [page]deterministic

##

Describe fields and structure of various resources.

This command describes the fields associated with each supported API resource. Fields are identified via a simple JSONPath identifier:

<type>.<fieldName>[.<fieldName>] Information about each field is retrieved from the server in OpenAPI format.

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

``` kubectl explain TYPE [--recursive=FALSE|TRUE] [--api-version=api-version-group] [-o|--output=plaintext|plaintext-openapiv2] ```

##

``` # Get the documentation of the resource and its fields kubectl explain pods # Get all the fields in the resource kubectl explain pods --recursive # Get the explanation for deployment in supported api versions kubectl explain deployments --api-version=apps/v1 # Get the documentation of a specific field of a resource kubectl explain pods.spec.containers # Get the documentation of resources in different format kubectl explain deployment --output=plaintext-openapiv2 ```
