This command utilizes the Stern tool to view and tail logs from Kubernetes pods that match a specific label selector. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

stern: Stern is a command-line tool used for tailing logs from multiple pods or containers in Kubernetes. It provides a convenient way to view logs in real-time.
${pod_query}: This is a placeholder variable that represents the query to select the pods whose logs you want to tail. The actual query would be replaced with the desired value when executing the command.
--selector ${release=canary}: This parameter is used to specify the label selector for the pods. In this case, it selects pods with a label release that has a value of canary.

By running this command with the appropriate values provided for ${pod_query}, it will tail and display logs from the selected pods that match the defined label selector.
