--generator=run-pod/v1
specifies the generator to use for creating pods. In this case, it uses the run-pod/v1
generator.
nginx
is the name given to the pod being created.
--image=nginx
specifies the container image to be used for the pod. In this example, it uses the official Nginx container image.

instructs Kubernetes to only simulate the execution of the command without actually creating the pod. It is useful for checking if the pod creation command is valid without making any changes to the cluster.
