Piggybacking on this… what’s the quickest way to deploy a docker container in Kubernetes short of having to hand create the deployment yaml? Or is that it, having to create one from scratch.
this just creates a pod running the specific image. If you kill the pod, or it terminates, it won’t be run again.
In general though, you probably want to do some customization before running (maybe you need volumes, secrets, env, ports, labels, securityContext, etc.) and for that you can simply let kubectl generate the boilerplate YAML and then simply make some edit:
In case you don’t need anything fancy, the kubectl create subcommand allows you to create simple workload, so probably that’s the answer to your question.
If you run it in podman, podman can export into a kubernete file, but its been a long time since I’ve tried it though. podman kube generate $CONTAINERNAME

You have a bunch of options:
kubectl run $NAME --image=$IMAGEthis just creates a pod running the specific image. If you kill the pod, or it terminates, it won’t be run again.

kubectl run $NAME --image=$IMAGE --dry-run=client -o yaml > mypod.yaml # edit mypod.yaml kubectl create -f mypod.yamlYou can do the same with a
