🚀 kubectl is the most important tool in every Kubernetes engineer's toolkit. But knowing which command to use and when — that is what separates beginners from engineers who are truly productive with Kubernetes. In this video I have covered 25+ essential kubectl commands that you will use every single day as a DevOps engineer — from basic pod management to deployments, scaling, rollbacks, port forwarding and debugging! ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎯 WHY KUBECTL COMMANDS ARE CRITICAL TO MASTER Kubernetes is only as powerful as your ability to interact with it efficiently. Every task you do in Kubernetes — creating resources, debugging pods, scaling deployments, checking logs, rolling back releases — all of it happens through kubectl. Engineers who know kubectl deeply can debug production issues in minutes. Engineers who don't waste hours. This video gives you a complete practical reference for every kubectl command you need in real projects. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📌 ALL COMMANDS COVERED IN THIS VIDEO 🔵 Basic Resource Management → kubectl apply -f pod.yaml → kubectl delete -f pod.yaml → kubectl get pods → kubectl get pods -o wide → kubectl get pods -n namespace → kubectl get all → kubectl get ns 🔵 Pod Debugging → kubectl describe pod podname → kubectl logs podname → kubectl logs -f podname → kubectl exec -it podname -- /bin/bash → kubectl get events → kubectl get pods | grep error 🔵 Node Management → kubectl get nodes → kubectl get nodes -o wide 🔵 Deployment Management → kubectl get deployments → kubectl describe deployment deploymentName → kubectl scale deployment deploymentName --replicas=3 → kubectl rollout status deployment deploymentName → kubectl rollout undo deployment deploymentName 🔵 Networking and Context → kubectl port-forward podName 8080:80 → kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=ns ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔍 WHO IS THIS VIDEO FOR This video is perfect for you if you are: 👉 A Kubernetes beginner who just set up their first cluster 👉 A DevOps engineer who wants to master kubectl deeply 👉 Someone preparing for CKA or CKAD certification exams 👉 A developer who works with Kubernetes daily 👉 Anyone who wants a single reference video for all essential kubectl commands ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💡 MOST IMPORTANT COMMANDS AND WHEN TO USE THEM 🔧 Debugging a crashing pod? → kubectl describe pod — check events section first → kubectl logs — check application errors → kubectl exec -it — go inside pod and investigate 🔧 Deployment not updating? → kubectl rollout status — check if rollout is stuck → kubectl rollout undo — instantly rollback to previous version 🔧 Need to test your app locally? → kubectl port-forward — forward pod port to your local machine 🔧 Working in wrong namespace? → kubectl config set-context --current --namespace Set default namespace so you don't have to type -n every time 🔧 Finding failing pods quickly? → kubectl get pods | grep error Instantly filters only problematic pods in a large cluster ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO ayushbuildstech If you are serious about learning Kubernetes and DevOps with real hands on tutorials — Subscribe to ayushbuildstech and hit the bell icon so you never miss a video!
