kubectl run-container

Run a particular image on the cluster.

Synopsis

Create and run a particular image, possibly replicated. Creates a replication controller to manage the created container(s).

kubectl run-container NAME --image=image [--port=port] [--replicas=replicas] [--dry-run=bool] [--overrides=inline-json]

Examples

// Starts a single instance of nginx.
$ kubectl run-container nginx --image=dockerfile/nginx

// Starts a replicated instance of nginx.
$ kubectl run-container nginx --image=dockerfile/nginx --replicas=5

// Dry run. Print the corresponding API objects without creating them.
$ kubectl run-container nginx --image=dockerfile/nginx --dry-run

// Start a single instance of nginx, but overload the desired state with a partial set of values parsed from JSON.
$ kubectl run-container nginx --image=dockerfile/nginx --overrides='{ "apiVersion": "v1beta1", "desiredState": { ... } }'
