kubectl-delete: Delete resources defined in a YAML manifest.
$ kubectl delete --filename ${path-to-manifest-yaml}
try on your machine

This command is used with the Kubernetes command-line tool kubectl to delete Kubernetes resources defined in a YAML manifest file.

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

  • kubectl: This is the command-line tool used to interact with Kubernetes clusters.
  • delete: This is the command to delete resources in Kubernetes.
  • --filename: This flag specifies that the following argument is the path to the YAML manifest file.
  • ${path-to-manifest-yaml}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the YAML manifest file that you want to delete.

By running this command and providing the path to a specific YAML manifest file, you can delete the Kubernetes resources defined in that file. This is useful for removing unwanted resources or cleaning up resources after they are no longer needed.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
