KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

💅 KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — the manual, but make it a group chat

okay so bestie, welcome to the kubectl api-versions page 💖 this one lives in the kubernetes manual (section 1, "User" volume, source Manuals), originally jotted down by Eric Paris back in Jan 2015. grab a strawberry 🍓 and let's go.

✨ NAME ✨

kubectl api-versions — Print the supported API versions on the server, in the form of "group/version"

like, it literally just tells you which API versions your cluster is serving, formatted as "group/version". that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic, she slays 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

kubectl api-versions [OPTIONS]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Print the supported API versions on the server, in the form of "group/version".

that's it. that's the description. no cap. you run it, the server tells you what it supports, and it comes back all nicely shaped like group/version for each one. chef's kiss 🎀

👑 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 👑

these aren't even hers — she inherited them from the parent command, so they ride along with basically every kubectl invocation. every single one, right here, no skipping 🔥

• --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.
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --as-user-extra=[] — User extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
• --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache" — Default cache directory
• --certificate-authority="" — Path to a cert file for the certificate authority
• --client-certificate="" — Path to a client certificate file for TLS
• --client-key="" — Path to a client key file for TLS
• --cluster="" — The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
• --context="" — The name of the kubeconfig context to use
• --disable-compression=false — If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
• --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false — If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure

🚨 bestie listen. that one is literally called insecure for a reason. if you set it true, the server's certificate validity is not checked, and your HTTPS connections become insecure. it's giving "walking into a club with no bouncer". do not do this casually, fr fr 😭

• --kubeconfig="" — Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
• --kuberc="" — Path to the kuberc file to use for preferences. This can be disabled by exporting KUBECTL_KUBERC=false feature gate or turning off the feature KUBERC=off.
• --match-server-version=false — Require server version to match client version
• -n, --namespace="" — If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
• --password="" — Password for basic authentication to the API server
• --profile="none" — Name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex|trace)
• --profile-output="profile.pprof" — Name of the file to write the profile to
• --proxy-url="" — Proxy URL to use for requests to the API server
• --request-timeout="0" — The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests.
• -s, --server="" — The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
• --tls-server-name="" — Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
• --token="" — Bearer token for authentication to the API server
• --user="" — The name of the kubeconfig user to use
• --username="" — Username for basic authentication to the API server
• --version=false — --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version
• --warnings-as-errors=false — Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code
