Value must be a positive integer. affinityAffinity If specified, the pod's scheduling constraints automountServiceAccountTokenboolean AutomountServiceAccountToken indicates whether a service account token should be automatically mounted. containers Container arraypatch strategy: merge on key name List of containers belonging to the pod. Containers cannot currently be added or removed. There must be at least one container in a Pod. Cannot be updated. dnsConfigPodDNSConfig Specifies the DNS parameters of a pod. Parameters specified here will be merged to the generated DNS configuration based on DNSPolicy. dnsPolicystring Set DNS policy for the pod. Defaults to \"ClusterFirst\". Valid values are 'ClusterFirstWithHostNet', 'ClusterFirst', 'Default' or 'None'. DNS parameters given in DNSConfig will be merged with the policy selected with DNSPolicy. To have DNS options set along with hostNetwork, you have to specify DNS policy explicitly to 'ClusterFirstWithHostNet'.Possible enum values: - \"ClusterFirst\" indicates that the pod should use cluster DNS first unless hostNetwork is true, if it is available, then fall back on the default (as determined by kubelet) DNS settings. - \"ClusterFirstWithHostNet\" indicates that the pod should use cluster DNS first, if it is available, then fall back on the default (as determined by kubelet) DNS settings. - \"Default\" indicates that the pod should use the default (as determined by kubelet) DNS settings. - \"None\" indicates that the pod should use empty DNS settings. DNS parameters such as nameservers and search paths should be defined via DNSConfig. enableServiceLinksboolean EnableServiceLinks indicates whether information about services should be injected into pod's environment variables, matching the syntax of Docker links. Optional: Defaults to true. ephemeralContainersEphemeralContainer arraypatch strategy: merge on key name List of ephemeral containers run in this pod. Ephemeral containers may be run in an existing pod to perform user-initiated actions such as debugging. This list cannot be specified when creating a pod, and it cannot be modified by updating the pod spec. …\n\nAttribution: Adapted from Kubernetes Documentation under CC-BY-4.0.
