You are troubleshooting a GKE cluster for an e-commerce application. Your kubectl context is already pointing to the correct cluster. Operations management asks you to provide a quick list of all Pods that are currently running in the default namespace. Which single command should you run to return this information?
When no namespace is specified on the command line, kubectl defaults to the default namespace configured in the current context. Running kubectl get pods therefore lists all Pods that exist in that namespace.
kubectl get pods is correct because it returns every Pod in the default namespace.
kubectl get pods --all-namespaces queries every namespace, producing more information than requested.
kubectl get pods -n kube-system targets the kube-system namespace, not default.
kubectl get deployments lists Deployment objects, not individual Pods, so it does not meet the requirement to list all Pods.
