 How to JSON PATH in KubeCtl?
kubectl get nodes -o json

kubectl get pods -o json

1 Identify the kubectl command

{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "List",
"items": [
{

2 Familiarize with JSON output

"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "Pod",
"metadata": {
"name": "nginx-5557945897-gznjp",
},
"spec": {
"containers": [

3 Form the JSON PATH query

{
"image": "nginx:alpine",
"name": "nginx"
}
.items[0].spec.containers[0].image ],
"nodeName": "node01"
}
}
