Question

Hi Guys,

I am new in kubernetes. I am trying to create one pod. But it shows me the below error.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: httpd
  labels:
    name: httpd
spec:
  containers:
  - name: httpd-con
    image=apache-webser-php
    volumeMounts:
    - name: pvc-vol
      mountPath: /var/www/html
  volumes:
  - name: pvc-vol
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: pvc-volume

$ kubectl apply -f pod_pvc.yml
error: error parsing pod_pvc.yml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 11: could not find expected ':'

Hi@akhtar,

In yml code, you can't use equals to sign. To assign key value pair you can use colon. In above code you have written  image=apache-webser-php. Here you have to use colon instead of equals to.

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: httpd
  labels:
    name: httpd
spec:
  containers:
  - name: httpd-con
    image: apache-webser-php
    volumeMounts:
    - name: pvc-vol
      mountPath: /var/www/html
  volumes:
  - name: pvc-vol
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: pvc-volume
