In workflows

This provider can be used in workflows. As “step” to query data, example: 
steps:
    - name: Query kubernetes
      provider: kubernetes
      config: "{{ provider.my_provider_name }}"
      with:
        command_type: {value}  # The type of query to perform. Supported queries are:
- get_logs: Get logs from a pod
- get_deployment_logs: Get logs from all pods in a deployment
- get_events: Get events for a namespace or pod
- get_nodes: List nodes
- get_pods: List pods
- get_node_pressure: Get node pressure conditions
- get_pvc: List persistent volume claims
- get_deployments: List deployments
- get_statefulsets: List statefulsets
- get_daemonsets: List daemonsets
- get_services: List services
- get_namespaces: List namespaces
- get_ingresses: List ingresses for a namespace or all namespaces
- get_jobs: List jobs
        # Additional arguments for the query.
As “action” to make changes or update data, example: 
actions:
    - name: Query kubernetes
      provider: kubernetes
      config: "{{ provider.my_provider_name }}"

        action: {value}  # The action to perform. Supported actions are:
- rollout_restart: Restart a deployment/statefulset/daemonset
- restart_pod: Restart a specific pod
- cordon_node: Mark node as unschedulable
- uncordon_node: Mark node as schedulable
- drain_node: Safely evict pods from node
- scale_deployment: Scale deployment up/down
- scale_statefulset: Scale statefulset up/down
- exec_pod_command: Execute command in pod
