<p>Is there a way to run a privileged pod that I can use to install RPMs and packages on the host where the pod is running?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>If I just run privileged pod, exec into it and would try to run the command:</p>
<pre><code>rpm -i &lt;package.rpm&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>I would install that RPM in the pod itself, not on the physical machine.</p>

<p>Using a Pod that connects to the Node where it &quot;runs&quot; goes against the containerization pattern; take a look at the images below this link: <a href="https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container/</a></p>
<p>However you can do something, perhaps creating a bridge as done here: <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/1200#issuecomment-568735188" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kind/issues/1200#issuecomment-568735188</a></p>
