kubectl forward

Forward a local port to a port on the Pod

1. kubectl port-forward allows using resource name, such as a pod name, to select a matching pod to port forward to.

   # Change redis-master-765d459796-258hz to the name of the Pod
   kubectl port-forward redis-master-765d459796-258hz 7000:6379
   

   which is the same as

   kubectl port-forward pods/redis-master-765d459796-258hz 7000:6379
   

   or

   kubectl port-forward deployment/redis-master 7000:6379
   

   or

   kubectl port-forward replicaset/redis-master 7000:6379
   
   

   or

   kubectl port-forward service/redis-master 7000:redis
