<p>Given the kubectl command below, and its response, I want to yank out the Service object. The command will get the current state of all the k8s objects that are created by my deployment descriptor, which is named quotem.yaml.</p>

<p><code>% kubectl get -f quotem_v2.yaml -o json</code></p>

<pre><code>    {

<p><code>kubectl get -f quotem_v2.yaml -o json | jq '.items[] | select(.kind=="Service")'</code></p>

<ul>
<li>The command above usese kubectl get with -o flag to output json</li>
<li>Then it uses the jq command line json parser to get the items array, and from the items array, select the elements whose 'kind' attribute matches 'Service'</li>
</ul>
