kube-runtime

kube-runtime is the runtime crate with the highest level abstractions.
It is re-exported from kube under kube::runtime.

No need to depend on this directly

The standard way to get runtime + client features is to depend on kube with the additional runtime feature, and access kube::runtime. This way you avoid multiple entries in Cargo.toml which can cause version mismatches.

This crate has the most extensive documentation on docs.rs/kube/runtime.
