kubectl-get: Get pods in a specified namespace.
$ kubectl get pods -n ${namespace}
try on your machine

This command is used to retrieve information about all the pods in a specific namespace using the Kubernetes command-line tool, kubectl.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • kubectl: This is the command-line tool used to interact with Kubernetes clusters.

  • get pods: This is the kubectl command to retrieve information about pods. It fetches information about all the pods running in the cluster.

  • -n ${namespace}: This is an optional flag that specifies the namespace from which the pods should be retrieved. The ${namespace} is a placeholder for the actual namespace name. By providing this flag, you can retrieve pod information specifically from the mentioned namespace. If you omit this flag, the command will retrieve pods from the default namespace.

In summary, the command kubectl get pods -n ${namespace} is used to list all the pods in a given namespace within a Kubernetes cluster.
