KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

💖 KUBERNETES(1) — the kubectl girlies' manual 💖

kubectl apply set-last-applied — okay bestie, this is a kubernetes manual page, section 1, from the User manuals, and it was originally written by Eric Paris back in January 2015 (yes, ancient, but she still serves 💅). Pull up a chair, grab a boba, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

kubectl apply set-last-applied — Set the last-applied-configuration annotation on a live object to match the contents of a file 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

kubectl apply set-last-applied [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the vibe here is: you're setting the latest last-applied-configuration annotations by pointing them at the contents of a file. Literally just matching them up. ✨

The result? The last-applied-configuration gets updated as though kubectl apply -f was run, but — and this is the important part, no cap — without updating any other parts of the object. She only touches the annotation. Nothing else. Iconic behavior honestly.

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• --allow-missing-template-keys=true — If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
• --create-annotation=false — Will create last-applied-configuration annotations if current objects doesn't have one.
• --dry-run="none" — Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.
• -f, --filename=[] — Filename, directory, or URL to files that contains the last-applied-configuration annotations.
• -o, --output="" — Output format. One of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).
• --show-managed-fields=false — If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
• --template="" — 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].

---

🌈 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🌈

These ones you get for free from the parent command, like hand-me-downs but make it auth.

• --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.
• --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.

⚠️ okay real talk bestie: that --insecure-skip-tls-verify one says the quiet part out loud — skipping validity checks makes your HTTPS connections insecure. She's not being dramatic, that's just what it says. 🙈

🍓 EXAMPLE 🍓

# Set the last-applied-configuration of a resource to match the contents of a file
kubectl apply set-last-applied -f deploy.yaml

# Execute set-last-applied against each configuration file in a directory
kubectl apply set-last-applied -f path/

# Set the last-applied-configuration of a resource to match the contents of a file; will create the annotation if it does not already exist
kubectl apply set-last-applied -f deploy.yaml --create-annotation=true

And that's the whole page, bestie. Go set those annotations. 💖
