Fwiw, having the tools to help you understand what's going on in a running cluster can be quite helpful, imo. For example, Lens or k9s can help with this. Otherwise, you're faced with having the kubectl docs handy at all times. And I know that just by naming these, I'm practically inviting others to point out alternatives. And brace yourself for Helm, which is super-useful and murky when you first start tinkering with it.
