Using kubectl run command equivalent with K8s Python client

Question

I have a K8s container running as root . I am trying to exec into the container with a non-root user using the K8s Python client. K8s does not support the feature to pass user flag to exec command as of today.

There is a hack to bypass this limitation using kubectl. The idea is to run a docker Pod on the same node as the target Pod. For more details, see this tool . The tool under the hood uses the kubectl run command . Is there any way to get equivalent to run command using the Python client?

kubernetes plugins are just scripts themselves, so you could in theory do something as simple as:

bash -x ./kube-ssh --option --option...

And watch as it runs the commands
