I'm looking for a way to export a yaml file from a deployed component but without the cluster specific information.

kubectl get MYOBJECT --export -o yaml > my.yaml

but since "export" is now deprecated (since 1.14 and should normally disappear in 1.18 (didn't find it in changelog), what would be an alternative ?

thanks

There is no consistent way to do this since there is no overall guidelines about defaulting and other live data clean up. That is why it was deprecated. You should keep your source files in git or similar.

Your perspective belongs here.
