Monitoring Kubernetes with kubectl and rke2 🚀

Today, I’m going to walk you through a quick example of monitoring pods across all namespaces in Kubernetes using kubectl, paired with rke2 for lightweight Kubernetes deployment.

🖥️ What I Achieved:

• Monitored real-time pod status using watch kubectl get pods -A -o wide

• Verified the version of rke2 installed and running

🛠️ How I Did It:

• To keep an eye on all running pods in my Kubernetes cluster, I used the watch command along with kubectl. The command kubectl get pods -A -o wide provides a wide output showing detailed information about all pods across namespaces.

• I confirmed the rke2 version with rke2 -v, showing version v1.28.13+rke2r1 running on Go v1.22.5.

Here's a screenshot from my terminal for reference:

💡 This allows you to have real-time insight into your cluster's state, ensuring you can monitor deployments, troubleshoot issues, and keep things running smoothly.
