What is Kubectl apply?

Question

Could someone tell me what is Kubectl apply?

Answer 1

The “kubectl apply” command is used to direct a configuration to a resource by filename or stdin. If it exists, the resource won’t be created, but if not, then the resource would be created.

The syntax for using this command is:

kubectl apply -f FILENAME
