KUBERNETES(1)

NAME

kubectl replace - Replace a resource by filename or stdin.

SYNOPSIS

kubectl replace [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

Replace a resource by filename or stdin.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted. If replacing an existing resource, the complete resource spec must be provided. This can be obtained by $ kubectl get TYPE NAME -o yaml

Please refer to the models in ⟨https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/HEAD/docs/api-reference/v1/definitions.html⟩ to find if a field is mutable.

OPTIONS

--cascade=false
    Only relevant during a force replace. If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController).

-f, --filename=[]
    Filename, directory, or URL to file to use to replace the resource.

--force=false
    Delete and re-create the specified resource

--grace-period=-1
    Only relevant during a force replace. Period of time in seconds given to the old resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative.

-o, --output=""
    Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).

--save-config=false
    If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. This is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.

--schema-cache-dir=" /.kube/schema"
    If non-empty, load/store cached API schemas in this directory, default is '$HOME/.kube/schema'

--timeout=0
    Only relevant during a force replace. The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete of the old resource, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object

--validate=true
    If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it
