Overview

The command waits for a specific condition, as reported by the ".status.conditions" field on a pod state, on one or many pods. If more than one pod is specified, the condition must be seen in every pod. Alternatively, the command can wait for a specific pod to be deleted.

The documentation mentions "resources" instead of pods. Can wait be applied for other things than pods? If yes, what is them meaning of "condition" in that context, as other resources may not have conditions?

Wait for a Specific Condition

kubectl wait --for=condition=Ready pod <pod-name>

Wait for Deletion

kubectl wait --for=delete


Examples:

 # Wait for the pod "busybox1" to contain the status condition of type "Ready".
 
 # Wait for the pod "busybox1" to be deleted, with a timeout of 60s, after having issued the "delete" command.
 kubectl delete pod/busybox1
 kubectl wait --for=delete pod/busybox1 --timeout=60s

Options:

     --all=false: Select all resources in the namespace of the specified resource types
 -A, --all-namespaces=false: If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current

context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.

     --allow-missing-template-keys=true: If true, ignore any errors in templates when a field or map key is missing in

the template. Only applies to golang and jsonpath output formats.

     --field-selector=: Selector (field query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. --field-selector

key1=value1,key2=value2). The server only supports a limited number of field queries per type.

 -f, --filename=[]: identifying the resource.
     --for=: The condition to wait on: [delete|condition=condition-name].
 -o, --output=: Output format. One of:

json|yaml|name|go-template|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|jsonpath-file.

 -R, --recursive=true: Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related

manifests organized within the same directory.

 -l, --selector=: Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2)
     --template=: Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The

template format is golang templates [1].

     --timeout=30s: The length of time to wait before giving up.  Zero means check once and don't wait, negative means

wait for a week.

Usage:

 kubectl wait ([-f FILENAME] | resource.group/resource.name | resource.group [(-l label | --all)]) [--for=delete|--for

condition=available] [options]
