etcdctl: Delete a key-value pair.
$ etcdctl del ${my-key}
try on your machine

The command "etcdctl del ${my-key}" is used to delete a key-value pair from the etcd key-value store.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "etcdctl" is the command-line tool for interacting with the etcd database, which is a distributed key-value store used for storing and retrieving data.
  • "del" is the subcommand used to delete a key-value pair from the etcd database.
  • "${my-key}" is a placeholder for the actual key that you want to delete. You need to replace "${my-key}" with the specific key you want to delete. For example, if you want to delete a key named "example_key", the command will be "etcdctl del example_key".

By executing this command, the specified key-value pair will be removed from the etcd key-value store.
