Kubernetes Pods are not Virtual Machines, so not something you typically can "log in" to.

But you might be able to execute a command in a container. e.g. with:

kubectl exec <pod-name> -- <command>

Note that your container need to contain the binary for <command>, otherwise this will fail.

Your perspective belongs here.

you cannot login to a pod. it is not a process. it is a kind of 'environment'. it doesn't have port numbers. only IP. but as mentioned by others, you can exec binaries present on the node, which run as a container.
