Using correct value for --restart field on "kubectl run" will result run command to create an deployment or job or cronjob
--restart='Always': The restart policy for this Pod. Legal values [Always, OnFailure, Never]. If set to 'Always'
a deployment is created, if set to 'OnFailure' a job is created, if set to 'Never', a regular pod is created. For the
latter two --replicas must be 1. Default 'Always', for CronJobs `Never`.
Use "kubectl run" for creating basic kubernetes job using imperatively command as below
master $ kubectl run nginx --image=nginx --restart=OnFailure --dry-run -o yaml > output.yaml
Above should result an "output.yaml" as below example, you can edit this yaml for advance configurations as needed and create job by "kubectl create -f output.yaml or if you just need basic job then remove --dry-run option from above command and you will get basic job created.
