2. Extract and move it to system PATH.

$ tar xvf kubectl-kruise-darwin-amd64.tar.gz
$ mv darwin-amd64/kubectl-kruise /usr/local/bin/

3. Then you can use it with kubectl-kruise or kubectl kruise.

# or
$ kubectl kruise --help

Upgrade

Upgrade via Krew

Run kubectl krew upgrade kruise to upgrade kruise plugin via Krew.

Upgrade manually

Same to install plugin manaully.

Usage

expose

Take a workload(e.g. deployment, cloneset), service or pod and expose it as a new Kubernetes Service.

$ kubectl kruise expose cloneset nginx --port=80 --target-port=8000

scale

Set a new size for a Deployment, ReplicaSet, CloneSet, or Advanced StatefulSet.

$ kubectl kruise scale --replicas=3 cloneset nginx

It equals to kubectl scale --replicas=3 cloneset nginx.

rollout

Available commands: history, pause, restart, resume, status, undo, approve.

$ kubectl kruise rollout undo cloneset/nginx

# built-in statefulsets
$ kubectl kruise rollout status statefulsets/sts1

# kruise statefulsets
$ kubectl kruise rollout status statefulsets.apps.kruise.io/sts2

# approve a kruise rollout resource named "rollout-demo" in "ns-demo" namespace
$ kubectl-kruise rollout approve rollout-demo -n ns-demo

set

Available commands: env, image, resources, selector, serviceaccount, subject.

$ kubectl kruise set env cloneset/nginx STORAGE_DIR=/local

$ kubectl kruise set image cloneset/nginx busybox=busybox nginx=nginx:1.9.1

migrate

Currently it supports migrate from Deployment to CloneSet.

# Create an empty CloneSet from an existing Deployment.
$ kubectl kruise migrate CloneSet --from Deployment -n default --dst-name deployment-name --create

# Create a same replicas CloneSet from an existing Deployment.
$ kubectl kruise migrate CloneSet --from Deployment -n default --dst-name deployment-name --create --copy

# Migrate replicas from an existing Deployment to an existing CloneSet.
$ kubectl-kruise migrate CloneSet --from Deployment -n default --src-name cloneset-name --dst-name deployment-name --replicas 10 --max-surge=2

exec

Support switch to raw terminal mode, sends stdin to 'bash' in working sidecar container from cloneset myclone or pod and sends stdout/stderr from 'bash' back to the client

# exec sidecar in pod
$ kubectl kruise exec mypod -S sidecar-container -i -t -- bash

scaledown

Scaledown a cloneset with selective Pods.

# Scale down 2 with  selective pods
$ kubectl kruise scaledown cloneset/nginx --pods pod-a,pod-b

It will decrease replicas=replicas-2 of this cloneset and delete the specified pods.
