kubectl create

Create a resource by filename or stdin

Synopsis

Create a resource by filename or stdin.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted.

kubectl create -f FILENAME

Examples


# Create a pod using the data in pod.json.
kubectl create -f ./pod.json

# Create a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin.
cat pod.json | kubectl create -f -

Options

  -f, --filename value            Filename, directory, or URL to file to use to create the resource (default [])
      --include-extended-apis     If true, include definitions of new APIs via calls to the API server. [default true] (default true)
  -o, --output string             Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
      --record                    Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.
  -R, --recursive                 Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
      --save-config               If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. This is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
      --schema-cache-dir string   If non-empty, load/store cached API schemas in this directory, default is '$HOME/.kube/schema' (default "~/.kube/schema")
      --validate                  If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it (default true)
