Is there a way to use kubectl to list only the pods belonging to a deployment?
Currently, I do this to get pods:
kubectl get pods| grep hello
But it seems an overkill to get ALL the pods when I am interested to know only the pods for a given deployment. I use the output of this command to see the status of all pods, and then possibly exec into one of them.
I also tried kc get -o wide deployments hellodeployment, but it does not print the Pod names.
There's a label in the pod for the selector in the deployment. That's how a deployment manages its pods. For example for the label or selector app=http-svc you can do something like that this and avoid using grep and listing all the pods (this becomes useful as your number of pods becomes very large)
here are some examples command line:
# single label
kubectl get pods -l=app=http-svc
kubectl get pods --selector=app=http-svc
# multiple labels
kubectl get pods --selector key1=value1,key2=value2
