I am using aerospike in kubernetes. I have aerospike pods running, and want to enter them with aql.

in docker I have managed like this: `docker exec -ti aerospike aql --no-config-file` How is this done in kubernetes?

I am not a kubernetes expert, but it seems (per this document on [Get a Shell to a Running Container](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/debug-application-cluster/get-shell-running-container/)), the following would be the command to try:

`kubectl exec -it pod/aerospike -c aerospike — aql`
