With kubectl, I know i can run below command if I want to see specific resources YAML file
kubectl -n <some namespace> get <some resource> <some resource name> -o yamlHow would I get this same data using python's kubernetes-client ? Everything I've found so far only talks about creating a resource from a given yaml file.
In looking at docs, I noticed that each resource type generally has a get_api_resources() function which returns a V1ApiResourceList, where each item is a V1ApiResource. I was hoping there would be a way to get the resource's yaml-output by using a V1ApiResource object, but doesnt appear like that's the way to go about it.
Do you all have any suggestions ? Is this possible with kubernetes-client API ?
If you take a look at the methods available on an object, e.g.:
>>> import kubernetes.config
>>> client = kubernetes.config.new_client_from_config()
>>> core = kubernetes.client.CoreV1Api(client)
>>> res = core.read_namespace('kube-system')
>>> dir(res)

That returns the object as
a dictionary, which you can then serialize to YAML or JSON or
whatever:
>>> import yaml
>>> print(yaml.safe_dump(res.to_dict()))
