Kubernetes Pods: The Basic Building Block of Kubernetes
Kubernetes pods are the basic building blocks of Kubernetes. They are a group of one or more containers, with shared storage and network resources, and a specification for how to run the containers.
Pods are the smallest deployable units of computing that you can create and manage in Kubernetes. A pod's contents are always co-located and co-scheduled, and run in a shared context.
Pods are ephemeral, meaning they can be deleted at any time and not guaranteed to stay running forever. If a pod fails, Kubernetes will automatically restart it. This makes pods a good choice for running applications that need to be highly available.
To create a pod, you can use the following kubectl command:
Syntax: kubectl create pod <pod-name> --image=<image-name>
Example: kubectl create pod first-pod --image=nginx:latest (This command will create a pod named first-pod that runs the latest Nginx image)
