kubectl-edit:tldr:e6703

The command "kubectl edit svc/${service_name}" is used with the Kubernetes command-line tool (kubectl) to edit the configuration of a specific service (svc) in the cluster.

Here's how the command works:

1. "kubectl" is the command-line tool used to interact with Kubernetes clusters.
2. "edit" is a kubectl command that allows you to modify the configuration of Kubernetes resources.
3. "svc" is a shorthand for "service," which is a Kubernetes resource that exposes an application running on the cluster.
4. "${service_name}" represents the name of the specific service you want to edit. You need to replace "${service_name}" with the actual name of the service you want to edit. For example, if the service name is "my-service," the command will be "kubectl edit svc/my-service".

When you run this command, kubectl opens the configuration file for the specified service in your default text editor. You can then make changes to the configuration file, such as modifying the service's port, target port, or labels. Once you save and exit the editor, kubectl will update the service's configuration in the cluster based on your changes.
