docker run -dt nginx To create a pod in Kubernetes is not that different than this
kubectl run demo --image nginx To be able to check whether the container is running in docker we would use docker ps:
$ docker ps CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 7bb916d41482 nginx "/docker-entrypoint.…" 7 seconds ago Up 3 seconds 80/tcp eager_snyder It's equivalency on kubernetes is kubectl get pods:
$ kubectl get pods NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE demo 1/1 Running 0 5s Posted on 29/03/2021
