Sleeper pod

Sometimes we need to run a pod on the cluster to exec in to and test things, like web requests etc

How

DefaultService accountEnvironments from config map

apiVersion: v1

  containers:
    - name: alpine
      image: alpine:latest
      # Just spin & wait forever
      command: [ "/bin/sh", "-c", "--" ]
      args: [ "while true; do sleep 30; done;" ]
