Spawning pods dynamically at runtime from another pod

Question

Is it possible for a pod to act like a spawner? When someone calls the api service in the first pod, it should spawn a new pod. This seems like a very simple thing but I cant really figure out where to look in the docs. Someone already mentioned using operators but I dont really see how that would aid me.

Im currenlty migrating a project which uses docker as a spawner to create other dockers. I somehow need this principle to work in kubernetes pods.

Kind regards

Have you looked into Kubespawner part of JupyterHub ?

I have been trying to find alternatives to Kubespawner and Kubernetes Operators might be the answer. https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/extend-kubernetes/operator/
