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. Must be one of [status scale]. 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.

    --as string

    Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.

    --as-group strings

    Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.

    --as-uid string

    UID to impersonate for the operation.

    --cache-dir string     Default: "$HOME/.kube/cache"

    Default cache directory

    --certificate-authority string

    --cluster string

    The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use

    --context string

    The name of the kubeconfig context to use

    --default-not-ready-toleration-seconds int     Default: 300

    Indicates the tolerationSeconds of the toleration for notReady:NoExecute that is added by default to every pod that does not already have such a toleration.

    --default-unreachable-toleration-seconds int     Default: 300

    Indicates the tolerationSeconds of the toleration for unreachable:NoExecute that is added by default to every pod that does not already have such a toleration.

    --disable-compression

    If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server

    --insecure-skip-tls-verify
