Learn kubectl get

kubectl Commands

kubectl get lists resources; flags shape the view — -n for namespace, -o wide for detail, -l to filter by label, --watch to stream changes.

kubectl get is the workhorse for inspecting cluster state, from pods to deployments to nodes.

Flags refine it: -n picks the namespace, -o wide or -o yaml change the output, -l filters by label.

--watch keeps the command open and prints updates live, useful while a rollout progresses.

-n <namespace> scopes the query.

-o wide / -o yaml change output.

-l key=value filters by label.

kubectl get pods -n default
kubectl get pods -o wide
kubectl get deploy -l app=web
kubectl get pods --watch

Connect each part of the code to the concept before you type.

-n selects the namespace; without it kubectl uses the current context's namespace.

-n default

-o wide adds node and pod-IP columns to the listing.

-o wide

-l filters resources by label key=value.

-l app=web

--watch streams resource changes as they happen.

--watch

Read the concept map and follow the code breakdown.

Type the implementation, repair mistakes and work through every recall exercise.

Use the final check without hints; revisit weak concepts in short practice sessions.
