19       ExternalName service references to an external DNS address instead of

21       that exist off platform, on other clusters, or locally.

OPTIONS

26       --allow-missing-template-keys=true
27           If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is
28       missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output
29       formats.
30
31
32       --dry-run="none"
33           Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only
34       print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server
35       strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.
