Creating pods in Kubernetes can be done imperatively using commands like kubectl run or declaratively using YAML files.Using 'kubectl apply -f <file-name>' command helps apply changes in YAML files for pods.Utilizing 'kubectl explain pod' assists in understanding the structure and fields of the YAML file.The 'dry-run' option with 'kubectl create' allows generating YAML templates for resources without executing the command.Outputting JSON or YAML formats can be achieved using the '-o' flag in commands like 'kubectl run'.Editing pod configurations can be done either imperatively using 'kubectl edit pod <pod-name>' or declaratively by updating the YAML file and then applying it.Duplicating pod configurations can be useful for making changes without affecting the original pod setup.Inspecting pods can be performed by checking logs using 'kubectl logs' or gathering detailed information using 'kubectl describe'.Interacting with pods in interactive mode is helpful for debugging or monitoring by using 'kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- <command>'.Deleting pods is possible with the 'kubectl delete pod <pod-name>' command.
