NAME

   kubectl create - Create a resource from a file or from stdin

SYNOPSIS

   kubectl create [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

   Create a resource from a file or from stdin.

   JSON and YAML formats are accepted.

OPTIONS

   --allow-missing-template-keys=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.

   --dry-run="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.

   --edit=false      Edit the API resource before creating

   --field-manager="kubectl-create"      Name of the manager used to track field ownership.

   -f, --filename=[]      Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to create the resource

   -k, --kustomize=""      Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.

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

   --raw=""      Raw URI to POST to the server.  Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file.

   --record=false      Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the command. If set to true, record the command. If not set,  default  to
   updating the existing annotation value only if one already exists.

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

   --save-config=false       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.

   -l, --selector=""      Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', '!=', 'in', 'notin'.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2,key3 in (value3)). Matching objects  must  satisfy
   all of the specified label constraints.

   --show-managed-fields=false      If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.

   --template=""       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/tem
   plate/#pkg-overview].

   --validate="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 un
   known 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.

   --windows-line-endings=false      Only relevant if --edit=true. Defaults to the line ending native to your platform.

OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS

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

   --as-group=[]      Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.

   --as-uid=""      UID to impersonate for the operation.

   --cache-dir="/home/username/.kube/cache"      Default cache directory

   --certificate-authority=""      Path to a cert file for the certificate authority

   --client-certificate=""      Path to a client certificate file for TLS

   --client-key=""      Path to a client key file for TLS

   --cluster=""      The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use

   --context=""      The name of the kubeconfig context to use

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

   --insecure-skip-tls-verify=false      If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure

   --kubeconfig=""      Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.

   --match-server-version=false      Require server version to match client version

   -n, --namespace=""      If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request

   --password=""      Password for basic authentication to the API server

   --profile="none"      Name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex)

   --profile-output="profile.pprof"      Name of the file to write the profile to

   --request-timeout="0"       The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value
   of zero means don't timeout requests.

   -s, --server=""      The address and port of the Kubernetes API server

   --tls-server-name=""      Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used

   --token=""      Bearer token for authentication to the API server

   --user=""      The name of the kubeconfig user to use

   --username=""      Username for basic authentication to the API server

   --version=false      --version, --version=raw prints version information and quits; --version=vX.Y.Z... sets the reported version

   --warnings-as-errors=false      Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code

EXAMPLE

     # Create a pod using the data in pod.json
     kubectl create -f ./pod.json

     # Create a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin
     cat pod.json | kubectl create -f -

     # Edit the data in registry.yaml in JSON then create the resource using the edited data
     kubectl create -f registry.yaml --edit -o json
