### Synopsis


Create a resource by filename or stdin.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted.

```
kubectl create -f FILENAME
```

### Examples

```
# Create a pod using the data in pod.json.
kubectl create -f ./pod.json

# Create a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin.
cat pod.json | kubectl create -f -
```

### Options

```
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to file to use to create the resource
  -o, --output="": Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
      --record[=false]: Record current kubectl command in the resource annotation.
      --save-config[=false]: If true, the configuration of current object will be saved in its annotation. This is useful when you want to perform kubectl apply on this object in the future.
