Standard output, or stdout, is the conventional stream for ordinary application output. Containerized applications commonly write logs to stdout and standard error instead of files, allowing the container runtime to capture them consistently. section 5.3.2
Viewing application output
Kubernetes exposes captured container output through kubectl logs kiada. Add -f to stream new lines as requests arrive, --timestamps to display runtime-added timestamps, or --since=2m to show recent entries. section 5.3.2
