Guides - Linode CLI Commands for LKE
Access the entire Linode platform from the command line, easily adding, removing, or modifing services.
Lists current Kubernetes Clusters available on your account:
linode-cli lke clusters-list
Create a Kubernetes Cluster. The Kubernetes Cluster will be created asynchronously. You can use the events system to determine when the Kubernetes Cluster is ready to use:
linode-cli lke cluster-create \ --label cluster12345 \ --region us-central \ --k8s_version 1.16 \ --node_pools.type g6-standard-4 --node_pools.count 6 \ --node_pools.type g6-standard-8 --node_pools.count 3 \ --tags ecomm
Update Kubernetes Cluster:
linode-cli lke cluster-update $cluster_id \ --label lkecluster54321 \ --tags ecomm \ --tags blog \ --tags prod \ --tags monitoring
Delete a Cluster you have permission to
read_write
:linode-cli lke cluster-delete $cluster_id
List all active Node Pools on a Kubernetes Cluster:
linode-cli lke pools-list $cluster_id
Create a Node Pool on a Kubernetes Cluster:
linode-cli lke pool-create $cluster_id \ --type g6-standard-4 \ --count 6
Update Node Pool in a Kubernetes Cluster. When a Node Pool’s count is changed, the Nodes in that pool will be replaced in a rolling fashion.
linode-cli lke pool-update $cluster_id $pool_id \ --count 6
Delete a Node Pool from a Kubernetes Cluster:
linode-cli lke pool-delete $cluster_id $pool_id
View the Kubeconfig file for the Kubernetes Cluster:
linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view $cluster_id
Other actions are available. Use linode-cli lke --help
for a complete list.
