Options:
      --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.
      --dry-run='none': Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be
sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource.
      --edit=false: Edit the API resource before creating
      --field-manager='kubectl-create': Name of the manager used to track field ownership.
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to files to use to create the resource
  -k, --kustomize='': Process the kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
  -o, --output='': Output format. One of:
json|yaml|name|go-template|go-template-file|template|templatefile|jsonpath|jsonpath-as-json|jsonpath-file.
      --raw='': Raw URI to POST to the server.  Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file.
      --record=false: Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation. If set to false, do not record the
command. If set to true, record the command. If not set, default to updating the existing annotation value only if one
already exists.
  -R, --recursive=false: Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage
related manifests organized within the same directory.
      --save-config=false: If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. Otherwise, the
annotation will be unchanged. This flag is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
  -l, --selector='': Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2)
      --show-managed-fields=false: If true, keep the managedFields when printing objects in JSON or YAML format.
      --template='': Template string or path to template file to use when -o=go-template, -o=go-template-file. The
template format is golang templates [http://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#pkg-overview].
      --validate=true: If true, use a schema to validate the input before sending it
      --windows-line-endings=false: Only relevant if --edit=true. Defaults to the line ending native to your platform.
