kf ssh

Name

kf ssh - Open a shell on an App instance.

Synopsis

kf ssh APP_NAME [flags]

Description

Opens a shell on an App instance using the Pod exec endpoint.

This command mimics CF’s SSH command by opening a connection to the Kubernetes control plane which spawns a process in a Pod.

The command connects to an arbitrary Pod that matches the App’s runtime labels. If you want a specific Pod, use the pod/ notation.

NOTE: Traffic is encrypted between the CLI and the control plane, and between the control plane and Pod. A malicious Kubernetes control plane could observe the traffic.

Examples

# Open a shell to a specific App
kf ssh myapp

# Open a shell to a specific Pod
kf ssh pod/myapp-revhex-podhex

# Start a different command with args
kf ssh myapp -c /my/command -c arg1 -c arg2
