  6. Create a pod with Ubuntu image through yaml file with sleep command.
  7. Apply the YAML file.
  8. Observe changes.
  9. Set the Kubernetes policy.
Create pods with Alpine and Ubuntu images

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: ubuntu-sleep
  namespace: default
spec:
  containers:
    - name: ubuntu
      image: ubuntu
      command:
        - sleep
        - "60"
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: "600Mi"
        requests:
          memory: "100Mi"

Apply the YAML file.

1

kubectl apply -f pod.yaml
Use the watch command to watch the changes live.
1

watch kubetcl get pods

You will observe that pod with container are restarting. This is not a solution.

Set the Kubernetes policy
1
2

kubectl run ubuntu-no-restart --image=ubuntu --restart=Never
kubectl run ubuntu-on-failure --image=ubuntu --restart=OnFailure

By default Kubernetes policy restarts always the pod.

Use the watch command to watch the changes live.
1

watch kubetcl get pods

Pods have status completed, but there are no running containers inside pods.
