Execute a command in a container in a pod.
# Get output from running the 'date' command from pod mypod, using the first container by default
ksail workload exec mypod -- date
# Get output from running the 'date' command in ruby-container from pod mypod
ksail workload exec mypod -c ruby-container -- date
# Switch to raw terminal mode; sends stdin to 'bash' in ruby-container from pod mypod
# and sends stdout/stderr from 'bash' back to the client
ksail workload exec mypod -c ruby-container -i -t -- bash -il
# List contents of /usr from the first container of pod mypod and sort by modification time
# If the command you want to execute in the pod has any flags in common (e.g. -i),
# you must use two dashes (--) to separate your command's flags/arguments
# Also note, do not surround your command and its flags/arguments with quotes
# unless that is how you would execute it normally (i.e., do ls -t /usr, not "ls -t /usr")
ksail workload exec mypod -i -t -- ls -t /usr
# Get output from running 'date' command from the first pod of the deployment mydeployment, using the first container by default
ksail workload exec deploy/mydeployment -- date
# Get output from running 'date' command from the first pod of the service myservice, using the first container by default
ksail workload exec svc/myservice -- date
