Get YAML for deployed Kubernetes services?

Question

To get the yaml for a deployment (service, pod, secret, etc):

kubectl get deploy deploymentname -o yaml

How do I get the YAML for the Deployment, Service and Pod created by Kubernetes by filling in the form?

kubectl get deployment,service,pod yourapp -o yaml --export

Answering @Sinaesthetic question:

any idea how to do it for the full cluster (all deployments)?

kubectl get deploy --all-namespaces -o yaml --export

The problem with this method is that export doesn't include the namespace. So if you want to export many resources at the same time, I recommend doing it per namespace:

kubectl get deploy,sts,svc,configmap,secret -n default -o yaml --export > default.yaml

Unfortunately kubernetes still doesn't support a true get all command, so you need to list manually the type of resources you want to export. You can get a list of resource types with

kubectl api-resources

The same issue is discussed at kubernetes GitHub issues page and the user "alahijani" made a bash script that exports all yaml and writes them to single files and folders.

Since this question ranks well on Google and since I found that solution very good, I represent it here.

Bash script exporting yaml to sub-folders:

for n in $(kubectl get -o=name pvc,configmap,serviceaccount,secret,ingress,service,deployment,statefulset,hpa,job,cronjob)
do
    mkdir -p $(dirname $n)
    kubectl get -o=yaml --export $n > $n.yaml
done

Another user "acondrat" made a script that do not use directories, which makes it easy to make a kubectl apply -f later.

Bash script exporting yaml to current folder:

for n in $(kubectl get -o=name pvc,configmap,ingress,service,secret,deployment,statefulset,hpa,job,cronjob | grep -v 'secret/default-token')
do
    kubectl get -o=yaml --export $n > $(dirname $n)_$(basename $n).yaml
done

The last script does not include service account.

Syntax for downloading yaml's from kubernetes

kubectl get [resource type] -n [namespace] [resource Name] -o yaml > [New file name]

Create yaml file from running pod:

1. kubectl get po -n nginx nginx-deployment-755cfc7dcf-5s7j8 -o yaml > podDetail.yaml

Create replicaset yaml file from running pod:

2. kubectl get rs -n nginx -o yaml > latestReplicaSet.yaml

Create deployement yaml file from running pod:

3. kubectl get deploy -n nginx -o yaml > latestDeployement.yaml
