kubectl1.35.10

Run kubectl commands from a terminal to query, change, and manage resources in a Kubernetes cluster. It provides the command-line connection between a user and a cluster, solving the need to control Kubernetes through text commands rather than a graphical interface.

Developers, platform engineers, and other Kubernetes users can use it to inspect cluster resources, apply configuration, view workload status, read logs, and perform administrative operations. Its commands include subcommands, options, and flags for targeting particular resources and controlling how results and actions are handled. The command reference covers syntax, operation descriptions, supported flags, subcommands, and practical examples, while the overview provides a starting point for general use.

kubectl is particularly suited to day-to-day development, deployment, diagnosis, and cluster administration from a Linux terminal. It works with Kubernetes clusters, including environments managed through Canonical’s Kubernetes offerings, and gives operators a consistent text-based interface for issuing cluster commands.

The current release is 1.35.10 and runs on Linux with snapd on x86_64, also known as amd64. Canonical publishes this open-source Developer Tools application, and users should have access to a Kubernetes cluster to carry out meaningful operations with it.
