Overview

This node interacts with Kubernetes to run a pod with a specified container image, command, and environment variables. It is useful for dynamically launching pods in a Kubernetes cluster, for example, to run batch jobs, execute scripts, or start temporary containers with specific configurations.

Use Case Examples

  1. Run a pod with a custom Docker image and command to process data.
  2. Launch a pod with environment variables set for application configuration.
  3. Execute a command inside a pod container for debugging or automation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Image The container image to use for the pod.
Command The command to run inside the pod container, specified as a JSON array.
Environment Variables Environment variables to set inside the pod container, specified as a JSON array.
Namespace The Kubernetes namespace where the pod will be run.
Resource Name The name of the pod resource.

Output

JSON

  • stdout - The standard output from running the pod with the specified image, command, and environment variables.

Dependencies

  • Requires Kubernetes API credentials to authenticate and interact with the Kubernetes cluster.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Kubernetes credentials are correctly configured and have permissions to create and manage pods in the specified namespace.
  • The 'Command' and 'Environment Variables' inputs must be valid JSON arrays; otherwise, the node will throw an error.
  • The 'Resource Name' and 'Namespace' must be correctly specified to avoid resource not found errors.
