Add
KubernetesPodExecOperatorto execute commands in a running container of an existing Kubernetes Pod without creating, restarting, or deleting it. This supports pre-warmed and API-visible static Pods where avoiding startup latency is important.The operator validates the target Pod and container, streams stdout and stderr, supports optional stdout XCom, reports non-zero exit codes, and closes the exec connection when the task is killed. Provider metadata, RBAC guidance, and operator documentation are included.
