synopsis: Run a particular image on the cluster.
description: |-
  Create and run a particular image, possibly replicated.
  Creates a deployment or job to manage the created container(s).  
options:
- name: attach
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If true, wait for the Pod to start running, and then attach to the Pod as if 'kubectl attach ...' were called.  Default false, unless '-i/--interactive' is set, in which case the default is true.    
- name: command
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If true and extra arguments are present, use them as the 'command' field in the container, rather than the 'args' field which is the default.

  usage: |
    If true, a public, external service is created for the container(s) which are run    
- name: generator
  usage: |
    The name of the API generator to use.  Default is 'deployment/v1beta1' if --restart=Always, otherwise the default is 'job/v1'.  This will happen only for cluster version at least 1.2, for olders we will fallback to 'run/v1' for --restart=Always, 'run-pod/v1' for others.

- name: limits
  usage: |
    The resource requirement limits for this container.  For example, 'cpu=200m,memory=512Mi'.  Note that server side components may assign limits depending on the server configuration, such as limit ranges.

  usage: |
    The restart policy for this Pod.  Legal values [Always, OnFailure, Never].  If set to 'Always' a deployment is created for this pod, if set to OnFailure or Never, a job is created for this pod and --replicas must be 1.  Default 'Always'    
- name: rm
  default_value: "false"
  usage: |
    If true, delete resources created in this command for attached containers.    
- name: save-config
  default_value: "false"
