kubectl: Display an explanation of a specific field.

kubectl

$ kubectl explain ${pods-spec-containers}

try on your machine

The command "kubectl explain" is used to provide details and explanations about the different fields and options available in Kubernetes resources. The "${pods-spec-containers}" is a placeholder for the specific resource you want to get explanations for.

In this particular command, you would replace "${pods-spec-containers}" with the resource you want to explore. For example, if you want to understand the available options for the "containers" field in a Pod specification, you would use:

kubectl explain pods.spec.containers

By executing this command, Kubernetes will provide you with detailed explanations of each field, option, and their possible values within the "containers" field of a Pod specification. This information can be extremely useful while composing or modifying Kubernetes resource configurations.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
