kubectl debug
Debug cluster resources using interactive debugging containers. More information: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/generated/kubectl_debug.
- 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}}
