ksail workload expose

Expose a resource as a new Kubernetes service.
Usage:
ksail workload expose
Examples:
# Create a service for a replicated nginx, which serves on port 80 and connects to the containers on port 8000
ksail workload expose rc nginx --port=80 --target-port=8000
# Create a service for a replication controller identified by type and name specified in "nginx-controller.yaml", which serves on port 80 and connects to the containers on port 8000
ksail workload expose -f nginx-controller.yaml --port=80 --target-port=8000
# Create a service for a pod valid-pod, which serves on port 444 with the name "frontend"
ksail workload expose pod valid-pod --port=444 --name=frontend
# Create a second service based on the above service, exposing the container port 8443 as port 443 with the name "nginx-https"
ksail workload expose service nginx --port=443 --target-port=8443 --name=nginx-https
# Create a service for a replicated streaming application on port 4100 balancing UDP traffic and named 'video-stream'.
ksail workload expose rc streamer --port=4100 --protocol=UDP --name=video-stream
# Create a service for a replicated nginx using replica set, which serves on port 80 and connects to the containers on port 8000
ksail workload expose rs nginx --port=80 --target-port=8000
# Create a service for an nginx deployment, which serves on port 80 and connects to the containers on port 8000
ksail workload expose deployment nginx --port=80 --target-port=8000
Flags:
--allow-missing-template-keys If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats. (default true)
--as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
--as-group stringArray Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
--as-uid string UID to impersonate for the operation.
--as-user-extra stringArray User extras to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple values for the same key.
--cache-dir string Default cache directory (default "~/.kube/cache")
--certificate-authority string Path to a cert file for the certificate authority
--client-certificate string Path to a client certificate file for TLS
--client-key string Path to a client key file for TLS
--cluster string The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
--cluster-ip string ClusterIP to be assigned to the service. Leave empty to auto-allocate, or set to 'None' to create a headless service.
--context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use
--disable-compression If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
--dry-run string[="unchanged"] Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource. (default "none")
--external-ip string Additional external IP address (not managed by Kubernetes) to accept for the service. If this IP is routed to a node, the service can be accessed by this IP in addition to its generated service IP.
--field-manager string Name of the manager used to track field ownership. (default "kubectl-expose")
-f, --filename strings Filename, directory, or URL to files identifying the resource to expose a service
--insecure-skip-tls-verify If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure
--kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests. (default "~/.kube/config")
-k, --kustomize string Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
-l, --labels string Labels to apply to the service created by this call.
--load-balancer-ip string IP to assign to the LoadBalancer. If empty, an ephemeral IP will be created and used (cloud-provider specific).
--name string The name for the newly created object.
-n, --namespace string If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
-o, --output string Output format. One of: (json, yaml, kyaml, name, go-template, go-template-file, template, templatefile, jsonpath, jsonpath-as-json, jsonpath-file).
--override-type string The method used to override the generated object: json, merge, or strategic. (default "merge")
--overrides string An inline JSON override for the generated object. If this is non-empty, it is used to override the generated object. Requires that the object supply a valid apiVersion field.
--port string The port that the service should serve on. Copied from the resource being exposed, if unspecified
--protocol string The network protocol for the service to be created. Default is 'TCP'.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
--request-timeout string The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests. (default "0")
--save-config If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the annotation will be unchanged. This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
--selector string A label selector to use for this service. Only equality-based selector requirements are supported. If empty (the default) infer the selector from the resource being exposed.
-s, --server string The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--session-affinity string If non-empty, set the session affinity for the service to this; legal values: 'None', 'ClientIP'
--show-managed-fields If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
--target-port string Name or number for the port on the container that the service should direct traffic to. Optional.
--template string Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
--tls-server-name string Server name to use for server certificate validation. If it is not provided, the hostname used to contact the server is used
--token string Bearer token for authentication to the API server
--type string Type for this service: ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer, or ExternalName. Default is 'ClusterIP'.
--user string The name of the kubeconfig user to use
Global Flags:
--benchmark Show per-activity benchmark output
