Common Operations

When to Use This Skill

A well-designed Kubernetes CLI provides idiomatic operations that work consistently across resource types. This section covers:

  • List Resources - Query resources with label selectors
  • Rollout Restart - Trigger rolling restarts without downtime
  • ConfigMap Operations - Store and retrieve configuration data
  • Watch Resources - React to real-time resource changes

Implementation

See the full implementation guide in the source documentation.

Key Principles

Practice Description
Use label selectors Filter resources server-side, not client-side
Prefer patches over updates Patches are safer for concurrent modifications
Use strategic merge patches Kubernetes-native patch format for resources
Handle not found errors Check apierrors.IsNotFound(err) before creating
Respect resource versions Use optimistic concurrency for updates

Use the Kubernetes API idiomatically: label selectors, patches, and proper error handling.
