Does the client supports create and run a particular image in a pod operation

[sjmittal]

I wanted to know if there is any method or api which can support an operation like:
kubectl run NAME --image=image [--env="key=value"] [--port=port] [--dry-run=server|client] [--overrides=inline-json] [--command] -- [COMMAND] [args...]
using the the Kubernetes client.

I was going through the examples but I could not find any.

I don't think we have anything like kubectl run right now. But implementing it should not be that hard. You just need to create a Deployment with the required image, and port values.

I think kubectl run creates a Pod (no Deployment involved)

Umm, yeah. Seems like you're right. Old behavior is to create deployment but I see that that's been marked as deprecated:

~/work/repos/jkube : $ kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --replicas=1 
kubectl run --generator=deployment/apps.v1 is DEPRECATED and will be removed in a future version. Use kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 or kubectl create instead.
