## kops replace

Replace cluster resources.

Replace a resource desired configuration by filename or stdin.

```
kops replace {-f FILENAME}... [flags]
```

### Examples

```
  # Replace a cluster desired configuration using a YAML file
  kops replace -f my-cluster.yaml
  
  # Replace an instancegroup using YAML passed into stdin.
  cat instancegroup.yaml | kops replace -f -
  
  # Note, if the resource does not exist the command will error, use --force to provision resource
  kops replace -f my-cluster.yaml --force
```

### Options
