ISTIOCTL-EXPERIMENTAL-VERSION(1)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so this is the manual page for istioctl-experimental-version(1), and it literally prints out build version information. that’s the whole vibe bestie 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

istioctl experimental version [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Prints out build version information. no cap, that’s the assignment 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --authority="" — the XDS Subject Alternative Name, for example istiod.istio-system.svc. slay that identity check ✨
• --cert-dir="" — XDS Endpoint certificate directory. that’s where the certs live 🫶
• -h, --help[=false] — help for version. your little “what does this do again?” button 🙈
• --insecure[=false] — Skip server certificate and domain verification. NOT SECURE! like, bestie, be so serious 😭
• -o, --output="" — One of 'yaml' or 'json'. pick your fave format 🍓
• --plaintext[=false] — Use plain-text HTTP/2 when connecting to server (no TLS). no encryption, just raw vibes 💀
• --remote[=false] — Use --remote=false to suppress control plane check. okay control-freak check, chill 🙈
• -r, --revision="" — Control plane revision. choose your fighter 👑
• -s, --short[=false] — Use --short=false to generate full version information. the full tea, not the summary 🫖
• --timeout=30s — The duration to wait before failing. patience is a virtue, but only for 30s ✨
• --xds-address="" — XDS Endpoint. where we’re connecting, bestie 🌈
• --xds-label="" — Istiod pod label selector. label it and slay 💅
• --xds-port=15012 — Istiod pod port. yes, 15012, iconic number 🎀

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. dress-up mode, but for auth 🧚
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. stack ’em, repeat ’em 💖
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation. yes, the uid too, be thorough 🫶
• --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context. know your context, bestie 😭
• -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — Istio system namespace. the default is literally istio-system 💅
• --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds. it will wait 15s, then it’s over 💀
• -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file. point me to the config 🍓
• -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace. namespace era 🌸
• --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. Like -v flag. ex: --vklog=9. verbose queen behavior 👑

🔥 EXAMPLE 🔥

         # Retrieve version information directly from the control plane, using token security
         # (This is the usual way to get the control plane version with an out-of-cluster control plane.)
         istioctl x version --xds-address istio.cloudprovider.example.com:15012

         # Retrieve version information via Kubernetes config, using token security
         # (This is the usual way to get the control plane version with an in-cluster control plane.)
         istioctl x version

         # Retrieve version information directly from the control plane, using RSA certificate security
         # (Certificates must be obtained before this step.  The --cert-dir flag lets istioctl bypass the Kubernetes API server.)
         istioctl x version --xds-address istio.example.com:15012 --cert-dir ~/.istio-certs

         # Retrieve version information via XDS from specific control plane in multi-control plane in-cluster configuration
         # (Select a specific control plane in an in-cluster canary Istio configuration.)
         istioctl x version --xds-label istio.io/rev=default
