kubectl replace

Synopsis

Replace a resource by file name or stdin.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted. If replacing an existing resource, the complete resource spec must be provided. This can be obtained by

    $ kubectl get TYPE NAME -o yaml

kubectl replace -f FILENAME

Examples

  # Replace a pod using the data in pod.json
  kubectl replace -f ./pod.json
  
  # Replace a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin
  cat pod.json | kubectl replace -f -
  
  # Update a single-container pod's image version (tag) to v4
  kubectl get pod mypod -o yaml | sed 's/\(image: myimage\):.*$/\1:v4/' | kubectl replace -f -
  
  # Force replace, delete and then re-create the resource
  kubectl replace --force -f ./pod.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.
--cascade string[="background"] Default: "background"
	Must be "background", "orphan", or "foreground". Selects the deletion cascading strategy for the dependents (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController). Defaults to background.
--dry-run string[="unchanged"] Default: "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.
--field-manager string Default: "kubectl-replace"
	Name of the manager used to track field ownership.
-f, --filename strings
	The files that contain the configurations to replace.
--force
	If true, immediately remove resources from API and bypass graceful deletion. Note that immediate deletion of some resources may result in inconsistency or data loss and requires confirmation.
--grace-period int Default: -1
	Period of time in seconds given to the resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. Set to 1 for immediate shutdown. Can only be set to 0 when --force is true (force deletion).
-h, --help
	help for replace
-k, --kustomize string
	Process a 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).
--raw string
	Raw URI to PUT to the server. Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file.
-R, --recursive
	Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--save-config
	If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be unchanged. This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
--show-managed-fields
	If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
--subresource string
	If specified, replace will operate on the subresource of the requested object. This flag is beta and may change in the future.
--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].
--timeout duration
	The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object
--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.
--wait
	If true, wait for resources to be gone before returning. This waits for finalizers.
