This YAML file describes a Kubernetes Pod named posts
. Let's break down what each part means:
-
apiVersion: v1
: This specifies the version of the Kubernetes API you're using to create this Pod. Versionv1
is a standard and widely supported version. -
kind: Pod
: This indicates the kind of Kubernetes object you're creating. In this case, it's a Pod, which is the smallest and simplest unit in the Kubernetes object model that you create or deploy. -

: This section includes data that helps uniquely identify the Pod. Here, we only seename: posts
, which gives the Pod a name ofposts
. -
spec:
: This section describes the specifications for the Pod. It's where you define the details of what the Pod should look like and how it should behave.-

. The name of the container does not have to match the name of the Pod unless you're using it for specific configurations or references. -
image: jsiqbal/posts:0.0.1
: This specifies the Docker image to use for the container. The imagejsiqbal/posts:0.0.1
is pulled from a Docker registry (like Docker Hub) and used to create the container. The format is<username>/<repository>:<tag>
