nsc kubectl

Run kubectl commands on a instance.

kubectl downloads a pinned kubectl binary and configures it inline to connect to your Namespace instance. It allows you to quickly query Kubernetes resources in your instance with no setup.

To export the kubeconfig instead, see nsc kubeconfig write.

Usage

nsc kubectl <instance-id> <kubectl arguments>

Example

The following example shows how to get pods from all namespaces:

1. Create an ephemeral instance

Create an ephemeral instance and note its ID:

nsc create

Created instance "1lf2ol9ioulce"
 deadline: 2023-04-25T13:24:53Z

2. List pods

List pods across all namespaces in the instance:

nsc kubectl 1lf2ol9ioulce get pods -A

NAMESPACE        NAME                                      READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
