Create Kubernetes Pod Definition using YAML

Pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes. 

A Pod is a group of one or more containers, with shared storage and network resources, and a specification for how to run the containers. 

Below is a sample yaml file for creating pod.

       
# cat pod.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: web
  labels:
    role: myrole
spec:
  containers:
    - name: web
      image: nginx
      ports:
        - name: web
          containerPort: 80
          protocol: TCP

Run following command to create pod in your Kubernetes cluster

       
# kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
