What is the difference between kubectl run and create command? Why won’t this command work:
kubectl create pod ngnix --image=nginx

Aanavi Gupta:
This gave me a invalid image flag error. Task was to create a new pod.

For pod u cannot use create , for pod u need to use run only.

pod is independent identity and can be launched seperately unlike deployment , replicaset etc

deployment will create replicas and pods same goes for replicaset which next create pods

Pods is the last in the hirearchy.

deployment>>replicaset>>pods

hence for pods kubectl run is used and for others kubectl create because we have to follow the end to end hirarchey
