I need to map a volume while starting the container, I am able to do it so with yaml file.
Is there an way volume mapping can be done via command line without using yaml file? just like-v option in docker?
without using yaml file
Technically, yes: you would need a json file, as illustrated in "Create kubernetes pod with volume using kubectl run"
See kubectl run.
kubectl run -i --rm --tty ubuntu --overrides='
