Explanation of "kubectl get pods --watch" command

 

kubectl get pods --watch

The command "kubectl get pods --watch" is used to display a continuously updating stream of information about the pods in a Kubernetes cluster. When executed, it will show a list of pods currently running in the default namespace, along with information such as their status, age, and IP address.

 

The "--watch" flag is used to continuously update the output of the command as changes occur in the cluster, such as the creation or deletion of pods. This is useful for monitoring the status of pods and responding to changes in real-time.

 

Once you execute the command, the output will show you the current state of the pods in the default namespace, and will continue to update as changes occur. The output will include information such as the name, status, and age of each pod. If a pod's status changes, the output will reflect that change immediately.

 

To exit the watch mode, you can press "Ctrl + C" on your keyboard.
