Connect is one of aladdin's commands used to connect to a container's shell. This command finds the pods related to a supplied deployment name. If only one pod with a single container is found, it connects directly to that container's shell. We first try bash, but if that doesn't work, we settle on sh. If multiple pods-container pairs are found that contain the supplied deployment name, they are all listed, and an index must be chosen.
usage: aladdin connect [-h] [--namespace NAMESPACE] [app]
positional arguments:
app which app to connect to
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--namespace NAMESPACE, -n NAMESPACE
