## Problem

View all the containers runnings inside a cluster.

## Environment

* Platform9 Managed Kubernetes - All Versions
* kubectl

## Procedure

1. Download the kubeconfig for the cluster you want the information for.
2. Save the kubeconfig at the following path *\~/.kube/config* or run the kubectl command with the *--kubeconfig=* command
3. Run the following command to get a list and number of running containers of each type.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Bash" %}

```bash
