Running pods in Kubernetes

Declarative way - using yaml file:

$ cat nginx-pod.yml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: nginx-pod
spec:
  containers:
    - image: nginx
      name: nginx
      ports:
        - containerPort: 80
	  name: nginx-pod

After that invoke kubectl:

kubectl apply -f ./nginx-pod.yml

Imperative way, using kubectl:

kubectl run nginxpod --image=nginx

To generate yaml in imperative way, use this command:

kubectl run nginxpod --image=nginx --dry-run=client -o yaml
