I have problem login into one container of a multi-container pod. I get the container id from the kubectl describe pod <pod-name>
kubectl describe pod ipengine-net-benchmark-488656591-gjrpc -c <container id> When i try:
kubectl exec -ti ipengine-net-benchmark-488656591-gjrpc -c 70761432854f /bin/bashIt says: Error from server: container 70761432854f is not valid for pod ipengine-net-benchmark-488656591-gjrpc
ah once more detailed reading the man page of kubectl exec :
Flags: -c, --container="": Container name. If omitted, the first container in the pod will be chosen -p, --pod="": Pod name -i, --stdin[=false]: Pass stdin to the container -t, --tty[=false]: Stdin is a TTY
So i just used the container name from my manifest.yaml and it worked like charm. Hope this helps others ...
Name of the container: ipengine-net-benchmark-iperf-server
kubectl exec -ti ipengine-net-benchmark-488656591-gjrpc -c ipengine-net-benchmark-iperf-server /bin/bash
