Am trying to run awx in Kubernetes and instead of creating say ec2 instance  
etc, I would like to run few things right on the awx pod to get info like  
for example kubectl. However the privileges on pod are disabled so I can  
not install it, 'root' is not even present.

I tried sudoing with the awx user thats there by default , that did not  
work either.  
Let me know what my options are.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

bash into container

bash-4.2$ sudo mv kubectl /usr/local/bin/  
sudo: unknown user: root  
sudo: unable to initialize policy plugin
