Get current image of kubernetes deployment

How can I use kubectl or the API to retrieve the current image for containers in a pod or deployment?

For example, in a deployment created with the below configuration, I want to retrieve the value eu.gcr.io/test0/brain:latest.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Deployment
   metadata:
     name: flags
   spec:
     replicas: 6
     template:
       metadata:
      labels:
        app: flags
       spec:
         containers:
         - name: flags
           image: eu.gcr.io/test0/brain:latest
Solution

  • From kubectl 1.6 the -o wide option does this, so

    kubectl get deployments -o wide

    will show the current image in the output.
