Recently I came across the issue that a customer needed to start a Pod without the kubectl or the oc command line tooling. Since the Kubernetes API is a relatively straight-forward REST API, we can come up with a nice curl command for that, which basically does the following:

• To create the Pod, send a POST request
• The Pod definition is sent as JSON
• The endpoint we’re using is /api/v1/namespaces/mynamespace/pods
