How to get containers details like workload or image etc for GCP

10/9/2018

I wanted to get List of containers and their details running on GCP Kubernets, From API page https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/container/v1/ We could get Cluster and Node details, but I'm looking for more granular levels like Pods and Container.

Is there any way to get those.

Pod and container details are accessible through the kubernetes API, not using the Google Cloud SDK.

Unfortunately, this means getting that information on a per cluster basis.

Alternatively, the Cloud Console can be used by going to Kubernetes Engine > Workloads which will list all replica sets and individual pods (if not controlled by a replicaset).

You might be able to configure Stackdriver Monitoring to create a group consisting of all the pod and container resources in use in the project and then use the Monitoring API to call on that group, but I haven't tested that.
