kf ssh

Name

kf ssh - Open a shell on an App instance

Synopsis

kf ssh APP_NAME [flags]

Description

Opens a shell on an App instance using the Pod exec endpoint.

This command mimics CF's SSH command by opening a connection to the Kubernetes master which spawns a process in a Pod.

The command connects to an arbitrary Pod that matches the App's runtime labels. If you want a specific Pod, use the pod/ notation.

NOTE: Traffic is encrypted between the CLI and the master, and the master and the Pod, however a malicious Kubernetes master could observe the traffic.

Examples

  # Open a shell to a specific App
  kf ssh myapp
  
  # Open a shell to a specific Pod
  kf ssh pod/myapp-revhex-podhex
  
  # Start a different command with args
  kf ssh myapp -c /my/command -c arg1 -c arg2
