What is command to find detailed information about Kubernetes master(s) using kubectl?

Question

Let say I want to find the kubelet and apiserver version of my k8s master(s), what\'s the best way to do it?

I am aware of the following commands:

kubect         


        

Answer 1

kubectl version also shows the apiserver version. For example, this is the output when I run it:

$ kubectl version
Client Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"2", GitVersion:"v1.2.4", GitCommit:"3eed1e3be6848b877ff80a93da3785d9034d0a4f", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server Version: version.Info{Major:"1", Minor:"2", GitVersion:"v1.2.4", GitCommit:"3eed1e3be6848b877ff80a93da3785d9034d0a4f", GitTreeState:"clean"}

The second line ("Server Version") contains the apiserver version. There isn't a way to get the master's kubelet version if it isn't registered as one of the nodes (which it isn't if it isn't showing up in kubectl get nodes), but in most deployments it'll be the same version as the apiserver.
