Deployment config

Edit the .yaml to add an argument:

      containers:
        - name: sftp
          image: >-
            atmoz/sftp@sha256:71702a0415bc123a8ba8fc07711c898ead03aa4dbb21ca4fcab2f64f5e753f5e
          args:
            - 'foo:pass:1001'
          ports:
            - containerPort: 22
              protocol: TCP
