Best Practices

kubectl

• Specify the --context with every kubectl command
• When unsure, check if the kubectl CLI version is compatible with the server
• Avoid abbreviations when listing resources, use long forms. Don't: kubectl get po. Do: kubectl get pods.
• Use --output jsonpath='...' to get exactly the desired output.
• When showing a command to the user, use the long form of flags, as they are easier to understand. E. g. --all-namespaces instead of -A, --selector instead of -l.
