kubectl-delete: Delete a specific deployment.
$ kubectl delete deployment ${deployment_name}
try on your machine

The command "kubectl delete deployment ${deployment_name}" is used to delete a Kubernetes deployment.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "kubectl" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for Kubernetes, used for managing Kubernetes resources.
  • "delete" is the action or operation to be performed on a specific resource.
  • "deployment" specifies the type of resource to be deleted, which is a Kubernetes deployment in this case.
  • "${deployment_name}" is a placeholder variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the deployment you want to delete.

So, when you execute this command with the actual deployment name, it will delete the specified deployment from the Kubernetes cluster.
