kubectl-delete:tldr:06c73
The command "kubectl delete pod ${pod_name}" is used to delete a specific pod in Kubernetes using the kubectl command-line tool.
Here's a breakdown of the command syntax:
-
"kubectl": It is the command-line tool used to interact with Kubernetes.
-
"delete": It is the action/command to delete a resource in Kubernetes.
-
"pod": Specifies the type of resource to delete, in this case, it is a pod.
-
"${pod_name}": It is a placeholder variable representing the name of the pod you want to delete. You need to replace this with the actual name of the pod you wish to delete.
To use the command, you replace "${pod_name}" with the actual name of the pod you want to delete. For example, if the pod name is "my-pod", the command would be written as: "kubectl delete pod my-pod".
When you run this command, Kubernetes will send a request to the cluster's API server to delete the specified pod. The pod will then be terminated and removed from the cluster.
