kubectl convert
Convert config files between different API versions
Synopsis
Convert config files between different API versions. Both YAML and JSON formats are accepted.
The command takes filename, directory, or URL as input, and convert it into format of version specified by –output-version flag. If target version is not specified or not supported, convert to latest version.
The default output will be printed to stdout in YAML format. One can use -o option to change to output destination.
kubectl convert -f FILENAME
Examples
# Convert 'pod.yaml' to latest version and print to stdout.
kubectl convert -f pod.yaml
# Convert the live state of the resource specified by 'pod.yaml' to the latest version
# and print to stdout in json format.
kubectl convert -f pod.yaml --local -o json
# Convert all files under current directory to latest version and create them all.
kubectl convert -f . | kubectl create -f -
Options
-f, --filename value Filename, directory, or URL to file to need to get converted. (default [])
--include-extended-apis If true, include definitions of new APIs via calls to the API server. [default true] (default true)
--local If true, convert will NOT try to contact api-server but run locally. (default true)
--no-headers When using the default or custom-column output format, don't print headers.
-o, --output string Output format. One of: json|yaml|wide|name|custom-columns=...|custom-columns-file=...|go-template=...|go-template-file=...|jsonpath=...|jsonpath-file=... See custom columns [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/kubectl-overview/#custom-columns], golang template [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview] and jsonpath template [http://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/jsonpath].
--output-version string Output the formatted object with the given group version (for ex: 'extensions/v1beta1').
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--schema-cache-dir string If non-empty, load/store cached API schemas in this directory, default is '$HOME/.kube/schema' (default "~/.kube/schema")
-a, --show-all When printing, show all resources (default hide terminated pods.)
--show-labels When printing, show all labels as the last column (default hide labels column)
--sort-by string If non-empty, sort list types using this field specification. The field specification is expressed as a JSONPath expression (e.g. '{.metadata.name}'). The field in the API resource specified by this JSONPath expression must be an integer or a string.
--template string Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
--validate If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it (default true)
