+### Additional Printer Columns
+
+Starting with Kubernetes 1.11, kubectl uses server-side printing. This means that the server decides which
+columns are to be printed by `kubectl get`. These columns can be customized in a CustomResourceDefinition:
+
+Save the CustomResourceDefinition to `resourcedefinition.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
+kind: CustomResourceDefinition
+metadata:
+  name: crontabs.stable.example.com
+spec:
+  group: stable.example.com
+  version: v1
+  scope: Namespaced
+  names:
+    plural: crontabs
+    singular: crontab
+    kind: CronTab
+    shortNames:
+    - ct
+  additionalPrinterColumns:
+  - name: Spec
+    type: string
+    description: The cron spec defining the interval a CronJob is run
+    JSONPath: .spec.cronSpec
+  - name: Replicas
+    type: integer
+    description: The number of jobs launched by the CronJob
+    JSONPath: .spec.replicas
+  - name: Age
+    type: date
+    JSONPath: .metadata.creationTimestamp
+```
+
+and create it:
+
+```shell
+kubectl create -f resourcedefinition.yaml
+```
+
+Finally, create an instance using the `my-crontab.yaml` from the previous section.
+
+Now invoke the server-side printing via:
+
+```shell
+kubectl get crontab my-new-cron-object
+```
+
+and see the output of the custom columns:
+
+```
+NAME                 SPEC        REPLICAS   AGE
+my-new-cron-object   * * * * *   1          7s
+```
+
+Note, that the name column is implicit and does not have to be defined in the CRD.
+
+Also note, that there is a `priority` field for each column. In Kubernetes 1.11 this
+only differentiates between those columns shown in standard view (all those with priority `0`)
+and those which are shown in addition in `-o wide` view (all those with priority `> 0`).
+
+The following types are available to be used in the `type` field of columns (compare [OpenAPI v3 data types](https://github.com/OAI/OpenAPI-Specification/blob/master/versions/3.0.0.md#dataTypes)):
+
+- `integer` – non-floating-point numbers
+- `number` – floating point numbers
+- `string` – strings
+- `boolean` – true or false
+- `date` – renderend differentially as a the time since this timestamp.
+
+If the value inside a CustomResource does not match the type specified for the column,
+the value is omitted. Hence, it is highly suggested to use CRD validation to ensure
+that the value types are correct.
+
+The following formats are available to be used in the `format` field of columns:
+
+- `int32`
+- `int64`
+- `float`
+- `double`
+- `byte`
+- `date`
+- `date-time`
+- `password`.
+
+These influence the printing style in kubectl.
+
 ### Subresources
 
 Custom resources support `/status` and `/scale` subresources.
