List the fields for supported resources.
This command describes the fields associated with each supported API resource. Fields are identified via a simple JSON Path identifier:
<type>.<fieldName>[.<fieldName>]
Add the --recursive
flag to display all of the fields at once without descriptions. Information about each field is retrieved from the server in OpenAPI format.
Use kubectl api-resources
for a complete list of supported resources.

kubectl explain pods --recursive
# Get the explanation for deployment in supported api versions
kubectl explain deployments --api-version=apps/v1
# Get the documentation of a specific field of a resource
kubectl explain pods.spec.containers
