A pod is a group of containers that are scheduled
onto the same host. Pods serve as units of scheduling, deployment, and
horizontal scaling/replication. Pods share fate, and share some resources, such
as storage volumes and IP addresses.
## Creating a pod
Single-container pods can be created with the `run` command. The
pod's properties are specified with flags on the command line.
The `run` command creates a replication controller to monitor the pod(s).
The controller watches for failed pods and will start up new pods as required
to maintain the specified number.
Note: If you don't want a replication controller to monitor your pod (e.g. your pod
is writing non-persistent data which won't survive a restart, or your pod is
intended to be very short-lived), you can
[create a pod directly with the `create` command](/docs/user-guide/pods/multi-container/).
To create a pod using the `run` command:
```shell
$ kubectl run NAME
--image=image
[--port=port]
[--replicas=replicas]
[--labels=key=value,key=value,...]
```
Where:
* `NAME` (required) is the name of the container to create. This value is also
applied as the name of the replication controller, and as the prefix of the
pod name. For example:
```shell
$ kubectl run example --image=nginx
replicationcontroller "example" created
$ kubectl get pods
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
example-xypvc 1/1 Running 0 13s
```
* `--image=IMAGE` (required) is the Docker container image to use for this
container.
* `--port=PORT` is the port to expose on the container.
* `--replicas=NUM` is the number of replicated pods to create. If not specified,
one pod will be created.
* `--labels=key=value` specifies one or more labels to attach to the pod. In
addition to any labels specified here, `run` attaches a label of
the format `run=NAME`. This is used by the replication controller
to target the pods created by the command.
There are additional flags that can be specified. For a complete list, run:
$ kubectl run --help

## Deleting a pod
If your pod was created using the `run` command, kubernetes creates a
[replication controller](/docs/user-guide/replication-controller/)
to manage the pod. Pods managed by a replication controller are rescheduled if
they go away, including being deleted by `kubectl delete pod`. To permanently
delete the pod, delete its replication controller.
First, find the controller's name:
```shell
$ kubectl get rc
CONTROLLER CONTAINER(S) IMAGE(S) SELECTOR REPLICAS
example example busybox run=example 1
```
Then, `delete` the controller:
```shell
$ kubectl delete rc CONTROLLER_NAME
```
