k3d: Delete a cluster.
$ k3d cluster delete ${cluster_name}
try on your machine

The command "k3d cluster delete ${cluster_name}" is used to delete a Kubernetes cluster created with the k3d tool. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "k3d": This is the command-line utility for managing Kubernetes clusters using the k3s lightweight distribution.
  • "cluster delete": This is the specific task or action being performed, which is deleting a cluster.
  • "${cluster_name}": This is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the cluster you want to delete. It represents the name of the cluster you provided when creating it.

By executing this command, the specified Kubernetes cluster will be completely removed from the system, including all associated resources such as nodes, pods, services, and configurations.
