How to do it...

For assigning a name to the Pod, follow the following steps:

1. The following example is the Pod YAML configuration that assigns the Pod name as my-pod to the container name as my-container; you can successfully create it as follows:

# cat my-pod.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: my-pod
spec:
  containers:
  - name: my-container    image: nginx # kubectl create -f my-pod.yamlpod "my-pod" created# kubectl get podsNAME      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGEmy-pod    0/1       Running   0          4s

2. You can use the kubectl describe command to see the container named my-container as follows:

$ kubectl describe pod my-podName:         my-podNamespace:    defaultNode:         minikube/192.168.64.12Start Time:   Sat, 16 Dec 2017 10:53:38 -0800Labels:       <none>Annotations: ...
