#### Operation Options

- `-var-file=<string>` - Specifies the path to a variable override file. This can be provided 
				multiple times on a single command to result in a list of files.
- `-var=<key=value>` - Specifies single override variables in the form of HCL syntax and
				can be specified multiple times per command.
- `-name=<string>` - If set, this will be the unique identifier of this deployed
                      instance of the specified pack. If not set, the pack name will
                      be used. This is useful for running more than one instance
			of a pack within the same cluster. Note that this name
                      must be globally unique within a cluster. Running the run
                      command multiple times with the same name, will just re-submit
	                the same pack, and apply changes if you have made any to
                      the underlying pack. Be mindful that, whether you have made
                      changes or not, the underlying Allocations will be replaced. 
                      When managing packs, the name specified here is the name that
                      should be passed to the plan or destroy commands.
                      

#### Render Options

- `-registry=<string>` - Specific registry name containing the pack to retrieve info about.
If not specified, the default registry will be used.
- `-ref=<string>` - Specific git ref of the pack to retrieve info about. 
Supports tags, SHA, and latest. If no ref is specified, defaults to 
latest.

Using ref with a file path is not supported.
