kubectl set resources

Synopsis

Specify compute resource requirements (CPU, memory) for any resource that defines a pod template. If a pod is successfully scheduled, it is guaranteed the amount of resource requested, but may burst up to its specified limits.

For each compute resource, if a limit is specified and a request is omitted, the request will default to the limit.

Possible resources include (case insensitive): Use "kubectl api-resources" for a complete list of supported resources..

kubectl set resources (-f FILENAME | TYPE NAME)  ([--limits=LIMITS & --requests=REQUESTS]

Examples

  # Set a deployments nginx container cpu limits to "200m" and memory to "512Mi"
  kubectl set resources deployment nginx -c=nginx --limits=cpu=200m,memory=512Mi
  
  # Set the resource request and limits for all containers in nginx
  kubectl set resources deployment nginx --limits=cpu=200m,memory=512Mi --requests=cpu=100m,memory=256Mi
  
  # Remove the resource requests for resources on containers in nginx
  kubectl set resources deployment nginx --limits=cpu=0,memory=0 --requests=cpu=0,memory=0
  
  # Print the result (in yaml format) of updating nginx container limits from a local, without hitting the server
  kubectl set resources -f path/to/file.yaml --limits=cpu=200m,memory=512Mi --local -o yaml

Options

--all

Select all resources, in the namespace of the specified resource types

--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.

-c, --containers string     Default: "*"

The names of containers in the selected pod templates to change, all containers are selected by default - may use wildcards

--dry-run string[="unchanged"]     Default: "none"

--field-manager string     Default: "kubectl-set"

Name of the manager used to track field ownership.

-f, --filename strings

Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to get from a server.

-h, --help

help for resources

-k, --kustomize string

Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.

--limits string

The resource requirement requests for this container. For example, 'cpu=100m,memory=256Mi'. Note that server side components may assign requests depending on the server configuration, such as limit ranges.

--local

If true, set resources will NOT contact api-server but run locally.

-o, --output string

Output format. One of: (json, yaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).

-R, --recursive

Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.

--requests string

The resource requirement requests for this container. For example, 'cpu=100m,memory=256Mi'. Note that server side components may assign requests depending on the server configuration, such as limit ranges.

-l, --selector string

Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching objects must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.

--show-managed-fields

If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.

--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].

--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

If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure

--profile string     Default: "none"

--profile-output string     Default: "profile.pprof"

Name of the file to write the profile to
