Patching a kubernetes object with kubectl patch and a patch file

2 min read

We can use the kubectl patch command with the -p option to update an existing kubernetes object:

$ kubectl patch sc gp2 -p '{"allowVolumeExpansion": true}'
storageclass.storage.k8s.io/gp2 patched

When the patch is small is a very convenient way of patching it but as the patch grows it becomes less convenient
