kubectl-delete:tldr:ff2b7

kubectl-delete: Delete all deployments and services in a specified namespace.
$ kubectl delete deployments,services --all --namespace ${namespace}
try on your machine

The given command is used to delete all the deployments and services in a specific namespace using the kubectl command-line tool.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • kubectl: It is the command-line tool for managing and interacting with Kubernetes clusters.
  • delete: It is the kubectl command to delete resources.
  • deployments,services: This specifies the types of resources to delete. In this case, it is deleting both deployments and services.
  • --all: It is a flag used to indicate that all resources of the specified types should be deleted. It applies to both deployments and services.
  • --namespace ${namespace}: This specifies the namespace in which the resources should be deleted. The ${namespace} is a placeholder which should be replaced with the actual name of the namespace.

To use this command, you need to have the kubectl tool installed and configured to connect to your Kubernetes cluster. You also need to replace ${namespace} with the appropriate namespace name where you want to delete the resources.
