KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes)

✨ KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes) — the kubectl set page but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the kubectl manual, section 1, and this particular lil corner of it is all about kubectl set. grab a boba, we're doing this 🧋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

kubectl set — Set specific features on objects

like. the name says it. you're setting stuff. on objects. iconic behavior tbh 👑

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

kubectl set [OPTIONS]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Configure application resources. that's the whole vibe.

These commands help you make changes to existing application resources. so not creating, not deleting — changing. glow-up energy only ✨

---

🦋 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🦋

so these aren't kubectl set's own options, they're the ones it inherited from the parent command, like the family heirlooms of the kubectl tree 🌳 and there are a LOT of them so let's go, no skipping, we list all of them fr fr

• --as="" — Username to impersonate for the operation. could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace. (yes you can cosplay as someone else, main character energy but make it auth 😭)
• --as-group=[] — Group to impersonate for the operation, and this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups. stack 'em up 💅
• --as-uid="" — UID to impersonate for the operation.
• --as-user-extra=[] — User extras to impersonate for the operation, and this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
• --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache" — Default cache directory. it literally lives at that path, don't @ me.
• --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. this is the "turn off the safety rail" flag. it is giving chaos. it is literally described as insecure. do not do this casually, I am begging 🙈
• --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. two whole ways to turn it off, slay 🫶
• --match-server-version=false — Require server version to match client version.
• -n, --namespace="" — If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request. (the classic. the beloved. the -n.)
• --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). pick your fighter ⚔️
• --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. zero = the "we wait forever, we're patient, we're in our era" setting 💀
• -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. three modes, one flag, versatile queen ✨
• --warnings-as-errors=false — Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code. warnings? no ma'am, we're calling those errors now 📢

and that's the whole page, bestie! this was the User manual, source/version KUBERNETES(1)(kubernetes), dated all the way back in Jan 2015 (shoutout Eric Paris for kicking it off 💖) — and it's still here serving c*nt in a terminal near you. no cap, go set some features. periodt 🎀💅🦋
