kubectl apply edit-last-applied

Synopsis

Edit the latest last-applied-configuration annotations of resources from the default editor.

The edit-last-applied command allows you to directly edit any API resource you can retrieve via the command-line tools. It will open the editor defined by your KUBE_EDITOR, or EDITOR environment variables, or fall back to ‘vi’ for Linux or ‘notepad’ for Windows. You can edit multiple objects, although changes are applied one at a time. The command accepts file names as well as command-line arguments, although the files you point to must be previously saved versions of resources.

The default format is YAML. To edit in JSON, specify “-o json”.

The flag —windows-line-endings can be used to force Windows line endings, otherwise the default for your operating system will be used.

In the event an error occurs while updating, a temporary file will be created on disk that contains your unapplied changes. The most common error when updating a resource is another editor changing the resource on the server. When this occurs, you will have to apply your changes to the newer version of the resource, or update your temporary saved copy to include the latest resource version.

  1. kubectl apply edit-last-applied (RESOURCE/NAME | -f FILENAME)

Examples

  1.   # Edit the last-applied-configuration annotations by type/name in YAML
  2.   kubectl apply edit-last-applied deployment/nginx
  4.   # Edit the last-applied-configuration annotations by file in JSON
  5.   kubectl apply edit-last-applied -f deploy.yaml -o json

Options

—allow-missing-template-keys     Default: 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.

—field-manager string     Default: “kubectl-client-side-apply”

Name of the manager used to track field ownership.

-f, —filename strings

Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to edit the resource

-h, —help

help for edit-last-applied

-k, —kustomize string

Process the kustomization directory. This flag can’t be used together with -f or -R.

-o, —output string

Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).

-R, —recursive

Process the directory used in -f, —filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.

—show-managed-fields

If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.

—template string

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].

—validate string[=”strict”]     Default: “strict”

Must be one of: strict (or true), warn, ignore (or false).
“true” or “strict” will use a schema to validate the input and fail the request if invalid. It will perform server side validation if ServerSideFieldValidation is enabled on the api-server, but will fall back to less reliable client-side validation if not.
“warn” will warn about unknown or duplicate fields without blocking the request if server-side field validation is enabled on the API server, and behave as “ignore” otherwise.
“false” or “ignore” will not perform any schema validation, silently dropping any unknown or duplicate fields.
