Install `kubectl`.

# Read
1. Check the namespace: `kubectl get namespaces`
1. Check the `${kube-system}` namespace: `kubectl get deployments.apps --namespace kube-system'
1. Check host computers: `kubectl get nodes`
1. Check pods: `kubectl get pods`

Pod copies are called a 'replicaset'.

# Create
Create a 'deployment' of `nginx`.
```sh
name="nginx-depl"
kubectl create deployment ${name} --image=nginx
kubectl get deployments
```
The command did not specify a namespace, so `default` is used.
# Update
Update a deployment, with `$EDITOR`.
```sh
kubectl edit deployments.apps ${name}
```
This gives us far too much information:
```yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
annotations:
deployment.kubernetes.io/revision: "1"
[ ... ]
creationTimestamp: "2025-08-29T18:13:45Z"

```
Pull out the information, without an `$EDITOR`:
```sh
file="webstuff"
kubectl get deployment ${name} -o yaml > ${webstuff}.yaml
```
## Enter the Pod
```bash
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
nginx-depl-68c944fcbc-2xbvq 1/1 Running 0 31m
$ pod='nginx-depl-68c944fcbc-2xbvq'
$ kubectl exec -it ${pod} -- bash
root@nginx-depl-68c944fcbc-2xbvq:/# ls
bin dev docker-entrypoint.sh home lib64 mnt proc run srv tmp var
boot docker-entrypoint.d etc lib media opt root sbin sys usr
root@nginx-depl-68c944fcbc-2xbvq:/#
exit
```
# Delete
Delete a deployment, and watch it leave:
```sh
name=nginx-depl
kubectl delete deployments.apps nginx-depl && kubectl get deployments.apps
kubectl get deployments.apps
```
