How can I create a Pod using REST API ?
I checked the Kubernetes API documentation:
https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubernetes-api/v1.10/#-strong-write-operations-strong--54
They are writing that need to use POST request:POST /api/v1/namespaces/{namespace}/pods
I have this YAML of simple nginx pod:
cat > nginx-pod.yaml <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: nginx1
spec:
containers:
- name: nginx
image: nginx:1.7.9
ports:
- containerPort: 80
EOFNeed to translate the YAML file to JSON file:
cat > nginx-pod.json <<EOF
{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "Pod",
"metadata": {
"name": "nginx1"
},
"spec": {
"containers": [
{
"name": "nginx",
"image": "nginx:1.7.9",
"ports": [
{
"containerPort": 80
}
]
}
]
}
}
EOF
Use the curl command like that:
curl -k -v -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <JWT_TOKEN>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://127.0.0.1:6443/api/v1/namespaces/default/pods -d@nginx-pod.json Of course, the token you are using should have permissions to create pod.
If someone has a way to do it without converting to JSON, please share.
