kubectl-describe:tldr:8beb0

The command kubectl describe pods -n ${namespace} is used to get detailed information about pods within a specific namespace in a Kubernetes cluster.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• kubectl is the command-line interface (CLI) tool used to interact with Kubernetes clusters.
• describe is the command used to retrieve detailed information about Kubernetes resources like pods, deployments, services, etc.
• pods specifies the resource type we want to describe, which in this case is "pods".
• -n is a flag that denotes the namespace in which the pods are located. ${namespace} is a placeholder for the actual namespace name. It can be replaced with the desired namespace.
• ${namespace} should be replaced with the actual namespace name you want to describe. For example, if the namespace is called "my-namespace", the command would be: kubectl describe pods -n my-namespace.

When you run this command, it will provide detailed information about the pods in the specified namespace, including their current state, events, labels, annotations, and more. This information is useful for troubleshooting and debugging issues with pods in the Kubernetes cluster.
