Listing pods on a node in your cluster

1. To list all or selected pods on one or more nodes: $ oc describe node <node1> <node2> For example: $ oc describe node ip-10-0-128-218.ec2.internal.
2. To list all or selected pods on selected nodes: $ oc describe --selector=<node_selector> $ oc describe -l=<pod_selector> For example:
