DESCRIPTION

19       Replace a resource by filename or stdin.
20
21
22       JSON  and YAML formats are accepted. If replacing an existing resource,
23       the complete resource spec must be provided. This can be obtained by
24
25
26       $ kubectl get TYPE NAME -o yaml

OPTIONS

31       --allow-missing-template-keys=true      If true, ignore any  errors  in
32       templates  when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only ap‐
33       plies to golang and jsonpath output formats.
34
35
36       --cascade="background"      Must be "background", "orphan",  or  "fore‐
37       ground".  Selects  the  deletion  cascading strategy for the dependents
38       (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController). Defaults to background.
39
40
41       --dry-run="none"      Must be "none", "server", or "client". If  client
42       strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it.
43       If server strategy, submit server-side request without  persisting  the
44       resource.
45
46
47       --field-manager="kubectl-replace"       Name  of  the  manager  used to
48       track field ownership.
49
50
51       -f, --filename=[]      to use to replace the resource.
52
53
54       --force=false      If true, immediately remove resources from  API  and
55       bypass  graceful  deletion.  Note  that  immediate deletion of some re‐
56       sources may result in inconsistency or data loss and requires confirma‐
57       tion.
58
59
60       --grace-period=-1       Period of time in seconds given to the resource
61       to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. Set to  1  for  immediate
62       shutdown. Can only be set to 0 when --force is true (force deletion).
63
64
65       -k,  --kustomize=""       Process  a kustomization directory. This flag
66       can't be used together with -f or -R.
67
68
69       -o, --output=""       Output  format.  One  of:  json|yaml|name|go-tem‐
70       plate|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|json‐
71       path-as-json|jsonpath-file.
72
73
74       --raw=""      Raw URI to PUT to the server.  Uses the transport  speci‐
75       fied by the kubeconfig file.
76
77
78       -R, --recursive=false      Process the directory used in -f, --filename
79       recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized
80       within the same directory.
81
82
83       --save-config=false       If  true, the configuration of current object
84       will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be  un‐
85       changed.  This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on
86       this object in the future.
87
88
89       --show-managed-fields=false      If true, keep the  managedFields  when
90       printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
91
92
93       --template=""      Template string or path to template file to use when
94       -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang tem‐
95       plates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
96
97
98       --timeout=0s       The  length  of  time  to wait before giving up on a
99       delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object
100
101
102       --validate=true      If true, use a schema to validate the input before
103       sending it
104
105
106       --wait=false      If true, wait for resources to be gone before return‐
107       ing. This waits for finalizers.
