<code>kubectl</code> has a <code>run</code> <a target="_blank" href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#run">command</a> similar to the <code>run</code> <a target="_blank" href="https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/">command</a> for docker; however, <code>kubectl run</code> runs a container remotely inside a k8s cluster.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">kubectl run NAME --image=image [--env="key=value"] [--port=port]
[--dry-run=server|client] [--overrides=inline-json]
[--command] -- [COMMAND] [args...]

This command will spawn a container using the <code>postgres:16</code> Docker image, connect you to the terminal and remove the container after exiting the terminal:
<pre><code class="lang-bash">kubectl run psql --image=postgres:16 -it --rm -- bash
</code></pre>
