kubectl-get: Get Kubernetes objects defined in a YAML manifest.
$ kubectl get -f ${path-to-manifest-yaml}
try on your machine

The command "kubectl get -f ${path-to-manifest-yaml}" is used to retrieve information about Kubernetes resources defined in a manifest file in YAML format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • kubectl: It is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for Kubernetes, allowing you to interact with a Kubernetes cluster.
  • get: It is a command within kubectl used to retrieve information about Kubernetes resources.
  • -f: It is a flag that specifies that the command will read from a file.
  • ${path-to-manifest-yaml}: It is a placeholder for the actual path to the manifest file in YAML format.

When you run this command, Kubernetes will read the manifest file specified by ${path-to-manifest-yaml} and retrieve information about the Kubernetes resources defined in that file. The output will typically include details such as the names, types, states, and other relevant information about the resources defined in the manifest.
