When running this command Kubectl get pods why are the pods not showing that are associated with the control plane? I have to run kubectl get pods -A to get all the pods running. Is it because they’re part of the control plane? Or a pod definition file is not create for them?
Most resources are specific to a given namespace; the default is very imaginatively called the “default” namespace. And when you run kubectl get pods, that’s what you see – just the pods in the default namespace.
Controlplane pods are mostly in the kube-system namespace, so if you want to see them, you need to do
kubectl -n kube-system get pods
which will list the pods in the kube-system namespace.
Thank you. Excellent way to break it down for me. I appreciate your help.
