# kubectl debug > Debug cluster resources using interactive debugging containers. > More information: . - Create an interactive debugging session in a pod and immediately attach to it: `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} {{[-it|--stdin --tty]}} --image busybox` - Create a debug container with a custom image and name: `kubectl debug --image {{image}} {{[-c|--container]}} {{container_name}} {{pod_name}}` - Create an interactive debugging session on a node and immediately attach to it (the container will run in the host namespaces and the host's filesystem will be mounted at `/host`): `kubectl debug node/{{node_name}} {{[-it|--stdin --tty]}} --image busybox` - Create a copy of a pod and add a debug container to it: `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} {{[-it|--stdin --tty]}} --image {{image}} --copy-to {{pod_copy_name}}` - Create a copy of a pod and change the command of a specific container: `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} {{[-it|--stdin --tty]}} --copy-to {{pod_copy_name}} --container {{container_name}} -- {{command}}` - Create a copy of a pod and change the image of a specific container: `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} --copy-to {{pod_copy_name}} --set-image {{container_name}}={{image}}` - Create a copy of a pod and change all container images: `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} --copy-to {{pod_copy_name}} --set-image '*={{image}}'` - Create an ephemeral debug container and target a specific container (useful for debugging distroless containers): `kubectl debug {{pod_name}} {{[-it|--stdin --tty]}} --image {{image}} --target {{target_container_name}}`
