    Containers are meant to run to completion. You need to provide your container with a task that will never finish. Something like this should work:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Pod
    metadata:
    name: ubuntu
    spec:
    containers:
    - name: ubuntu
    image: ubuntu:latest
    # Just spin & wait forever
    command: [ "/bin/bash", "-c", "--" ]
    args: [ "while true; do sleep 30; done;" ]

    How to keep a container running?
    The simplest way to keep the container running is to pass a command that never ends. We can use the tail -f command to read the /dev/null file. The command keeps looking for new changes in the file to display, so it never ends as long as the file exists: We can use the below command to run an infinite loop that does nothing:

    How long does a container run?
    The container runs as long as the specified command keeps running and then stops. Let’s look at an example of this: The above command will run the bash command in the ubuntu image. The bash command will start a shell in the container. The command runs, but the container stops after the command finishes, which is almost immediately.
