## kubectl replace

Replace a resource by filename or stdin.

### Synopsis


Replace a resource by filename or stdin.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted.

```
kubectl replace -f FILENAME
```

### Examples

```
// Replace a pod using the data in pod.json.
$ kubectl replace -f ./pod.json

// Replace a pod based on the JSON passed into stdin.
$ cat pod.json | kubectl replace -f -

// Force replace, delete and then re-create the resource
kubectl replace --force -f ./pod.json
```

### Options

```
      --cascade=false: Only relevant during a force replace. If true, cascade the deletion of the resources managed by this resource (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController).  Default true.
  -f, --filename=[]: Filename, directory, or URL to file to use to replace the resource.
      --force=false: Delete and re-create the specified resource
      --grace-period=-1: Only relevant during a force replace. Period of time in seconds given to the old resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative.
  -h, --help=false: help for replace
      --timeout=0: Only relevant during a force replace. The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete of the old resource, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object
