If you explicitly set `--generator`, kubectl uses the generator you specified. If you invoke `kubectl run` and don't specify a generator, kubectl automatically selects which generator to use based on the other flags you set. The following table lists flags and the generators that are activated if you didn't specify one yourself:

If you don't specify a generator, kubectl pays attention to other flags in the following order:

1.`--schedule`
