github.com/containers/podman/v5@v5.1.0-rc1/docs/source/markdown/podman-kube.1.md (about) 1 % podman-kube 1 2 3 ## NAME 4 podman\-kube - Play containers, pods or volumes based on a structured input file 5 6 ## SYNOPSIS 7 **podman kube** *subcommand* 8 9 ## DESCRIPTION 10 The kube command recreates containers, pods or volumes based on the input from a structured (like YAML) 11 file input. Containers are automatically started. 12 13 Note: The kube commands in podman focus on simplifying the process of moving containers from podman to a Kubernetes 14 environment and from a Kubernetes environment back to podman. Podman is not replicating the kubectl CLI. Once containers 15 are deployed to a Kubernetes cluster from podman, please use `kubectl` to manage the workloads in the cluster. 16 17 ## COMMANDS 18 19 | Command | Man Page | Description | 20 | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 21 | apply | [podman-kube-apply(1)](podman-kube-apply.1.md) | Apply Kubernetes YAML based on containers, pods, or volumes to a Kubernetes cluster | 22 | down | [podman-kube-down(1)](podman-kube-down.1.md) | Remove containers and pods based on Kubernetes YAML. | 23 | generate | [podman-kube-generate(1)](podman-kube-generate.1.md) | Generate Kubernetes YAML based on containers, pods or volumes. | 24 | play | [podman-kube-play(1)](podman-kube-play.1.md) | Create containers, pods and volumes based on Kubernetes YAML. | 25 26 ## SEE ALSO 27 **[podman(1)](podman.1.md)**, **[podman-pod(1)](podman-pod.1.md)**, **[podman-container(1)](podman-container.1.md)**, **[podman-kube-play(1)](podman-kube-play.1.md)**, **[podman-kube-down(1)](podman-kube-down.1.md)**, **[podman-kube-generate(1)](podman-kube-generate.1.md)**, **[podman-kube-apply(1)](podman-kube-apply.1.md)** 28 29 ## HISTORY 30 December 2018, Originally compiled by Brent Baude (bbaude at redhat dot com)
