Hi there, just trying to understand something:
Are the following two commands equal?

kubectl run httpd --image=httpd:alpine --port=80 --expose
kubectl run httpd --image=httpd:alpine --port=80 --expose=true

if expose is by default false, does just adding the option make it true, is this method frowned upon?

Alistair Mackay:
--expose is a boolean switch with default true, so yes they are the same if kubectl does not complain about the second syntax

#3

Shwetha:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#run documents default as false. :thinking_face:

#4

Shwetha:
Since --port is a part of both commands, they are treated equal. The port arg is required, if expose is used.

Alistair Mackay:
Can’t say I have ever had to explicitly put =true here. It’s probably implied when you couple it with -port etc.
It is definitely false when not specified on command line.
