### Optionaly let _kubectl_ choose the local port

185+
If you don't need a specific local port, you can let `kubectl` choose and allocate
186+
the local port and thus relieve you from having to manage local port conflicts, with
187+
the slightly simpler syntax:
188+
189+
```shell
190+
kubectl port-forward deployment/redis-master :6379
191+
```
192+
193+
An allocated local port in the upper range will be displayed as a result, the output
194+
will be similar to this:
