Kubernetes bash to POD after creation

Question

I tried to create the POD using command kubectl run --generator=run-pod/v1 mypod--image=myimage:1 -it bash and after successful pod creation it prompts for bash command in side container.

Is there anyway to achieve above command using YML file? I tried below YML but it does not go to bash directly after successful creation of POD. I had to manually write command kubectl exec -it POD_NAME bash. But want to avoid using exec command to bash my container. I want my YML to take me to my container after creation of POD. is there anyway to achieve this?

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: mypod
  namespace: mynamespcae
  labels:
    app: mypod
spec:
  containers:
  - args:
    - bash
    name: mypod
    image: myimage:1
    stdin: true
    stdinOnce: true
    tty: true

This is a community wiki answer. Feel free to expand it.

As already mentioned by David, it is not possible to go to bash directly after a Pod is created by only using the YAML syntax. You have to use a proper kubectl command like kubectl exec in order to Get a Shell to a Running Container.
