Keeping action descriptions tight

[Rye Terrell]

Little late to the party, but I'd like to throw this alternate format out
there for consideration:

ACTION             DESCRIPTION

clean-containers   Garbage collect non-running containers

clean-images       Garbage collect non-running images

guestbook-example  Launch the guestbook example in your k8s cluster

microbot           Launch microbot containers

pause              Cordon the unit, pausing all future workload
                   scheduling on this unit, and drains active
                   workloads

resume             UnCordon the unit, enabling workload scheduling.
                   Workloads will automatically balance into the unit

If it's acceptable, we might not need to worry so much about the length of
descriptions. I've attached a small demo so you can resize your terminal
and get a feel for it.

Cheers,
Rye
