# cldkctl describe

The describe command is used to display detailed information about a specific Kubernetes resource — including metadata, status, configuration, and runtime details. It provides a more complete view than a simple get command, making it useful for debugging or inspecting the state of resources such as pods, services, deployments, and volumes.

## Usage

```
cldkctl describe [flags]
```

```
cldkctl describe [subcommand] [flags]
```
