ISTIOCTL-WAYPOINT(1)

💅 ISTIOCTL-WAYPOINT 💅

okay bestie, welcome to istioctl-waypoint(1) — like, the actual manual page, but make it make sense. this is your group chat briefing on waypoint management, and yes, i kept literally every flag because i would never do you dirty like that 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

istioctl-waypoint — manage waypoint configuration, that's the whole vibe 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

istioctl waypoint [flags]

that's it. that's the entry point. flags go brrr at the end. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

lowkey it's simple: this is a group of commands used to manage waypoint configuration. that's the official description and i'm not gonna gaslight you with anything extra — the subcommands do the actual work, this page is the friend group that holds them together. main character energy for the whole family, honestly 👑

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so here's what this command itself takes — not the subcommands, just the parent:

• -h, --help[=false] — help for waypoint. classic. it does what it says 💅
• --name="waypoint" — name of the waypoint. note the default, bestie: it literally defaults to the string "waypoint" 🏷️

---

💜 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 💜

these are the flags you didn't ask for but got anyway, because inheritance is real and it's giving family reunion 😭 every one of them comes from istioctl itself:

• --as="" — username to impersonate for the operation. user could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
• --as-group=[] — group to impersonate for the operation. this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. repeat it as many times as you need, no cap 🌈
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --context="" — Kubernetes configuration context.
• -i, --istioNamespace="istio-system" — Istio system namespace. default is "istio-system", as the universe intended ⭐
• --kubeclient-timeout="15s" — Kubernetes client timeout as a time.Duration string, defaults to 15 seconds.
• -c, --kubeconfig="" — Kubernetes configuration file.
• -n, --namespace="" — Kubernetes namespace.
• --vklog=0 — number for the log level verbosity. Like -v flag. ex: --vklog=9. so like, crank it up when you need the tea 🔥

ngl, that --vklog one is sneaky-good. it's literally the verbosity dial, just spelled weird. iykyk 🫶

🌟 EXAMPLE 🌟

here's the part where i show you the moves. copy-paste these exactly, i'm not out here inventing syntax:

# Apply a waypoint to the current namespace
istioctl waypoint apply

# Generate a waypoint as yaml
istioctl waypoint generate --namespace default

# List all waypoints in a specific namespace
istioctl waypoint list --namespace default

apply it, generate it, list it. that's the whole personality ✨ slay.
