Basic KUBECTL Commands
The following kubectl commands are some common ones that may be helpful.
Type kubectl without any parameters, or with the --help parameter, to get a list of other commands, as well as more detailed usage information.
Note that for many of these commands you typically need to provide the namespace you wish to use, which may be the lumenvox namespace, or some other namespace your installation uses. If you wish to specify the lumenvox namespace, use the following syntax: kubectl <command> -n lumenvox
