<p>Is it possible to take ssh to pod?
Eg: <code>ssh pod_ip</code></p>
<p>I know we can do this with the <code>kubectl</code> command. But I need to do <code>ssh</code> from my local linux machine which doesn't have <code>kubectl</code>.</p>

<p>Firstly, you have to ensure that the openssh-server has been installed and running in the pod. If not, you can use <code>kubectl exec -it &lt;pod-name&gt; -n &lt;namespace&gt; -- bash</code> to access the pod. 
If your pod are running Ubuntu, do <code>apt-get install -y openssh-server</code>. </p>

<p>Secondly, pods are running in a virtual IP subnet assigned by network service. They are accessible to any Master nodes and Worker nodes in the cluster. You can do ssh from any of the Host OS. </p>
