How do I deploy a pod in Kubernetes?

To deploy a pod in Kubernetes, you can use the kubectl run command or create a YAML configuration file.

Can you show me an example of a YAML file for a pod?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: my-pod
spec:
  containers:
  - name: my-container
    image: nginx

This defines a pod with a single container running Nginx.

How do I apply this YAML file?

You can apply the YAML file using the command kubectl apply -f your-file.yaml. This will create the pod as defined in the file.

What if I want to scale the number of pods?

You can scale your deployment using the command kubectl scale --replicas=<number> deployment/<deployment-name>. This will adjust the number of pods accordingly.
