want to restart all the pods other than the master in namespace a from the above result.
Is there can be a single syntax to do it?
Do those pods have any specific labels that can be used for identifying them ? If they are not labelled so far, I would recommend you to do that as grep-ing for a specific string in their names is neither very convinient nor elegant solution. And for sure you cannot select pods that contain a specific string in their name with pure kubectl command, without using an external tool like grep.
As to selecting all pods (either in a specific --namespace or in --all-namespaces), running on all nodes except the specific one, it can be done quite easily by using negation in --field-selector:
The following command will list Pods from --all-namespaces, running on any node other than master. Additionally it will list only Pods that are labelled with the key app and the value nginx:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o wide --field-selector spec.nodeName!=master --selector=app=nginx
If you want to delete such Pods, run:
kubectl delete pods --all-namespaces --field-selector spec.nodeName!=master --selector=app=nginx
As you may know, deletion of Pods is basically the same as restarting/rebooting them. If those Pods are managed e.g. by a Deployment they will be simply recreated after deletion.
If you really have to use grep to search for a specific string in names of your Pods, you can use a fairly simple script to delete such specific Pods:
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -o name --field-selector spec.nodeName!=master | grep nic | xargs kubectl delete
But as you can see, the above command is way more complicated than a single kubectl delete that uses a --selector flag to filter out only Pods with specific labels. This one uses grep, xargs, two pipes and two separate kubectl command runs.

Kubectl has many aliases like svc, po, deploy etc.
Is there a way to show the expanded command for a command with shorthand.
for example kubectl get po
to
kubectl get pods
On a similar question the api-resources is used # What's kubernetes abbreviation for deployments?
But it gives very top level shorthands,
for eg, kubeclt get svc expands to kubectl get services
but in kubectl create svc expands to kubectl create service
Kindly guide,
Thanks
kubectl explain may be of interest e.g.:
kubectl explain po
KIND: Pod
VERSION: v1
DESCRIPTION:
Pod is a collection of containers that can run on a host. This resource is
created by clients and scheduled onto hosts.
There are plugins for kubectl too.
I've not tried it but kubectl explore may be worth a try.
Unfortunately, kubectl isn't documented by explainshell.com which would be a boon as it would also document the various flags e.g. -n (--namespace) and -o (--output).
As the kubernetes.io docs state about a Service of type LoadBalancer:
On cloud providers which support external load balancers, setting the
type field to LoadBalancer provisions a load balancer for your
Service. The actual creation of the load balancer happens
asynchronously, and information about the provisioned balancer is
published in the Service's .status.loadBalancer field.
On AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) a an AWS Load Balancer is provisioned that load balances network traffic (see AWS docs & the example project on GitHub provisioning a EKS cluster with Pulumi). Assuming we have a Deployment ready with the selector app=tekton-dashboard (it's the default Tekton dashboard you can deploy as stated in the docs), a Service of type LoadBalancer defined in tekton-dashboard-service.yml could look like this:
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual
spec:
selector:
app: tekton-dashboard
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 9097
type: LoadBalancer
If we create the Service in our cluster with kubectl apply -f tekton-dashboard-service.yml -n tekton-pipelines, the AWS ELB get's created automatically:
There's only one problem: The .status.loadBalancer field is populated with the ingress[0].hostname field asynchronously and is therefore not available immediately. We can check this, if we run the following commands together:
kubectl apply -f tekton-dashboard-service.yml -n tekton-pipelines && \
kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}'
The output will be an empty field:
{}%
So if we want to run this setup in a CI pipeline for example (e.g. GitHub Actions, see the example project's workflow provision.yml), we need to somehow wait until the .status.loadBalancer field got populated with the AWS ELB's hostname. How can we achieve this using kubectl wait?
TLDR;
Prior to Kubernetes v1.23 it's not possible using kubectl wait, but using until together with grep like this:
until kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}' | grep "ingress"; do : ; done
or even enhance the command using timeout (brew install coreutils on a Mac) to prevent the command from running infinitely:
timeout 10s bash -c 'until kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}' | grep "ingress"; do : ; done'
Problem with kubectl wait & the solution explained in detail
As stated in this so Q&A and the kubernetes issues kubectl wait unable to not wait for service ready #80828 & kubectl wait on arbitrary jsonpath #83094 using kubectl wait for this isn't possible in current Kubernetes versions right now.
The main reason is, that kubectl wait assumes that the status field of a Kubernetes resource queried with kubectl get service/xyz --output=yaml contains a conditions list. Which a Service doesn't have. Using jsonpath here would be a solution and will be possible from Kubernetes v1.23 on (see this merged PR). But until this version is broadly available in managed Kubernetes clusters like EKS, we need another solution. And it should also be available as "one-liner" just as a kubectl wait would be.
A good starting point could be this superuser answer about "watching" the output of a command until a particular string is observed and then exit:
until my_cmd | grep "String Im Looking For"; do : ; done
If we use this approach together with a kubectl get we can craft a command which will wait until the field ingress gets populated into the status.loadBalancer field in our Service:
until kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}' | grep "ingress"; do : ; done
This will wait until the ingress field got populated and then print out the AWS ELB address (e.g. via using kubectl get service tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}' thereafter):
$ until kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}' | grep "ingress"; do : ; done
{"ingress":[{"hostname":"a74b078064c7d4ba1b89bf4e92586af0-18561896.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com"}]}
Now we have a one-liner command that behaves just like a kubectl wait for our Service to become available through the AWS Loadbalancer. We can double check if this is working with the following commands combined (be sure to delete the Service using kubectl delete service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines before you execute it, because otherwise the Service incl. the AWS LoadBalancer already exists):
kubectl apply -f tekton-dashboard-service.yml -n tekton-pipelines && \
until kubectl get service/tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer}' | grep "ingress"; do : ; done && \
kubectl get service tekton-dashboard-external-svc-manual -n tekton-pipelines --output=jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].hostname}'
Here's also a full GitHub Actions pipeline run if you're interested.
Github repo: https://github.com/oussamabouchikhi/udagram-microservices
After I configured the kubectl with the AWS EKS cluster, I deployed the services using these commands
kubectl apply -f env-configmap.yaml
kubectl apply -f env-secret.yaml
kubectl apply -f aws-secret.yaml
# this is repeated for all services
kubectl apply -f svcname-deploymant.yaml
kubectl apply -f svcname-service.yaml
But the pods took hours and still in PENDING state, and when I run the command kubectl describe pod <POD_NAME> I get the follwing info
reverseproxy-667b78569b-2c6hv pod: https://pastebin.com/3xF04SEx
udagram-api-feed-856bbc5c45-jcgtk pod: https://pastebin.com/5UqB79tU

From your kubectl describe pod <podname>
Warning FailedScheduling 2m19s (x136 over 158m) default-scheduler 0/2 nodes are available: 2 Too many pods.
When you see this, it means that your nodes in AWS EKS is full.
To solve this, you need to add more (or bigger) nodes.
You can also investigate your nodes, e.g. list your nodes with:
kubectl get nodes
and investigate a specific node (check how many pods it has capacity for - and how many pods that runs on the node) with:
kubectl describe node <node-name>
I am trying my hands on Kubernetes and I tried to deploy an image into k8s service
root#KubernetesMiniKube:/usr/local/bin# kubectl run hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.10 --port=8080
pod/hello-minikube created
root#KubernetesMiniKube:/usr/local/bin# kubectl get pod
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
hello-minikube 1/1 Running 0 16s
root#KubernetesMiniKube:/usr/local/bin# kubectl get deployments
No resources found in default namespace.
Why i am seeing No resource found but actually there is a resource running inside default namespace.
When you are using $ kubectl run it will create a pod.
In your example thats exactly what happned, it created pod, named hello-minikube.
pod/hello-minikube created
If you want to create deployment
Deployments represent a set of multiple, identical Pods with no unique identities. A Deployment runs multiple replicas of your application and automatically replaces any instances that fail or become unresponsive.
you can do it using command:
$ kubectl create deployment hello-minikube --image=k8s.gcr.io/echoserver:1.10 --port=8080
deployment.apps/hello-minikube created
user#cloudshell:$ kubectl get deployments
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
hello-minikube 1/1 1 1 8s
You can also create deployment using YAML.
Save YAML from this documentation example and use kubectl apply.
$ vi nginx.yaml
<paste proper YAML definition. Also you can use nano editor, or download ready yaml>
user#cloudshell:$ kubectl apply -f nginx.yaml
deployment.apps/nginx-deployment created
$ kubectl get deployments
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
hello-minikube 1/1 1 1 3m48s
nginx-deployment 3/3 3 3 64s
Please let me know if you have further questions regarding this answer.
I am not exactly sure what's going on which is why I am asking this question. When I run this command:
kubectl config get-clusters
I get:
arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks-cluster-1
arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks1
then I run:
kubectl config current-context
and I get:
arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks-cluster-1
and if I run kubectl get pods, I get the expected output.
But how do I switch to the other cluster/context? what's the difference between the cluster and context? I can't figure out how these commands differ:
When I run them, I still get the pods from the wrong cluster:
root#4c2ab870baaf:/# kubectl config set-context arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:913617820371:cluster/eks1
Context "arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:913617820371:cluster/eks1" modified.
root#4c2ab870baaf:/#
root#4c2ab870baaf:/# kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
apache-spike-579598949b-5bjjs 1/1 Running 0 14d
apache-spike-579598949b-957gv 1/1 Running 0 14d
apache-spike-579598949b-k49hf 1/1 Running 0 14d
root#4c2ab870baaf:/# kubectl config set-cluster arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxxx371:cluster/eks1
Cluster "arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks1" set.
root#4c2ab870baaf:/# kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
apache-spike-579598949b-5bjjs 1/1 Running 0 14d
apache-spike-579598949b-957gv 1/1 Running 0 14d
apache-spike-579598949b-k49hf 1/1 Running 0 14d
so I really don't know how to properly switch between clusters or contexts and also switch the auth routine when doing so.
For example:
contexts:
- context:
cluster: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/ignitecluster
user: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxx371:cluster/ignitecluster
name: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/ignitecluster
- context:
cluster: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxx371:cluster/teros-eks-cluster
user: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/teros-eks-cluster
name: arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/teros-eks-cluster
To clarify on the difference between set-context and use-context
A context is a group of access parameters. Each context contains a Kubernetes cluster, a user, and a namespace. So when you do set-context, you just adding context details to your configuration file ~/.kube/config, but it doesn't switch you to that context, while use-context actually does.
Thus, as Vasily mentioned, in order to switch between clusters run
kubectl config use-context <CONTEXT-NAME>
Also, if you run kubectl config get-contexts you will see list of contexts with indication of the current one.
Use
kubectl config use-context arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks-cluster-1
and
kubectl config use-context arn:aws:eks:us-west-2:91xxxxx371:cluster/eks
Consider using kubectx for managing your contexts.
Usage
View all contexts (the current context is bolded):
$kubectx
arn:aws:eks:us-east-1:12234567:cluster/eks_app
->gke_my_second_cluster
my-rnd
my-prod
Switch to other context:
$ kubectx my-rnd
Switched to context "my-rnd".
Bonus:
In the same link - check also the kubens tool.
This is the best command to switch between different EKS clusters.
I use it every day.
