Use --dry-run=client to create a pod template as the starting point. Example: k run webapp --image=my-webapp --dry-run=client -o yaml > webapp.yaml

This will create webapp.yaml with the following contents:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
	creationTimestamp: null
	labels:
		run: webapp
	name: webapp
spec:
	containers:
		- image: my-webapp
			name: webapp
			resources: {}
	dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
	restartPolicy: Always
status: {}

Use the following tool to quickly switch between contexts and namespaces: https://github.com/ahmetb/kubectx

• Run brew install kubectx to install both kubectx and kubens
• kubens - switch to a namespace in a dropdown (requires fzf to be installed)

We can install plugins from Installing Addons | Kubernetes to add functionalities that are not natively provided by K8s. These include networking solutions, service discovery etc.
