This command is using the cosign tool to sign a container image with a particular key.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

cosign: This is the command-line tool being used.
sign: This is the subcommand of cosign used to sign container images.
-key k8s://${namespace}/${key}: This flag specifies the key to use for signing the container image. It uses the k8s key type which is a Kubernetes-specific signing key. The ${namespace} and ${key} variables should be replaced with the actual values for the namespace and key name.
${image}: This is the container image to be signed.

Overall, the command is leveraging the cosign tool to sign a container image using a specific key from a specified namespace, in a Kubernetes environment.
