podman-kube(1) General Commands Manual podman-kube(1)
NAME
podman-kube - Play containers, pods or volumes based on a structured in-
put file
SYNOPSIS
podman kube subcommand
DESCRIPTION
The kube command recreates containers, pods or volumes based on the in-
put from a structured (like YAML) file input. Containers are automati-
cally started.
Note: The kube commands in podman focus on simplifying the process of
moving containers from podman to a Kubernetes environment and from a Ku-
bernetes environment back to podman. Podman is not replicating the
kubectl CLI. Once containers are deployed to a Kubernetes cluster from
podman, please use kubectl to manage the workloads in the cluster.
