kubectl-edit: Edit a deployment.
$ kubectl edit deployment/${deployment_name}
try on your machine

The kubectl edit deployment command allows you to edit the configuration of a specific deployment in Kubernetes.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • kubectl is the command-line tool used to interact with a Kubernetes cluster.
  • edit is the sub-command used to edit the configuration of a resource.
  • deployment specifies the type of resource you want to edit, in this case, a deployment.
  • ${deployment_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the deployment you want to edit.

When you execute the command, it will open a text editor with the current configuration of the specified deployment. You can modify the configuration as needed and save the changes. Once you save the file, Kubernetes will apply the updated configuration to the deployment, modifying its behavior accordingly.
