Kubernetes sort pods by age [closed]

by

Pods have status, which you can use to find out startTime.

I guess something like kubectl get po --sort-by=.status.startTime should work.

You could also try:

  1. kubectl get po --sort-by='{.firstTimestamp}'.
  2. kubectl get pods --sort-by=.metadata.creationTimestamp Thanks @chris

Also apparently in Kubernetes 1.7 release, sort-by is broken.
