The easiest way to see labels for an object is with the show-labels
option to the get command
:
kubectl get nodes --show-labels
To see specific label values you can print the labels as columns:
kubectl get nodes --label-columns kubernetes.io/arch,kubernetes.io/os
Alternatively you can query the labels field in the metadata using JSONPath:
kubectl get node <your-node> -o jsonpath='{.metadata.labels}'
Or you can query for specific values with a Go template:
kubectl get node <your-node> -o go-template=$''
(JSONPath doesn’t like the forward slash in the label key)
Back to the exercises.
