This means it will fetch (if necessary) the images, extract them in its internal tree store, and allocate a pod UUID. If overlay fs is not supported or disabled, it will also copy the tree in the pod rootfs. 4 5 In this way, the pod is ready to be launched immediately by the [run-prepared](run-prepared.md) command. 6 7 Running `rkt prepare` + `rkt run-prepared` is semantically equivalent to running [rkt run](run.md). 8 Therefore, the supported arguments are mostly the same as in `run` except runtime arguments like `--interactive` or `--mds-register`. 9 10 ## Example 11 12 ``` 13 # rkt prepare coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 14 rkt prepare coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 15 rkt: using image from local store for image name coreos.com/rkt/stage1-coreos:0.10.0 16 rkt: searching for app image coreos.com/etcd:v2.0.10 17 rkt: remote fetching from url https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v2.0.10/etcd-v2.0.10-linux-amd64.aci 18 prefix: "coreos.com/etcd" 19 key: "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg" 20 gpg key fingerprint is: 8B86 DE38 890D DB72 9186 7B02 5210 BD88 8818 2190 21 CoreOS ACI Builder <release@coreos.com> 22 Key "https://coreos.com/dist/pubkeys/aci-pubkeys.gpg" already in the keystore 23 Downloading signature from https://github.com/coreos/etcd/releases/download/v2.0.10/etcd-v2.0.10-linux-amd64.aci.asc 24 Downloading signature: [=======================================] 819 B/819 B 25 Downloading ACI: [=============================================] 3.79 MB/3.79 MB 26 rkt: signature verified: 27 CoreOS ACI Builder <release@coreos.com> 28 c9fad0e6-8236-4fc2-ad17-55d0a4c7d742 29 ```
