Cleaning up

If you finish playing with your deployment and services or would like to start from the beginning, you can do some cluster cleaning by removing the deployment or services:

$ kubectl delete deployment rest-example$ kubectl delete service rest-example

This code can also be combined in one command, for example:

$ kubectl delete service,deployment rest-example

The kubectl delete supports label selectors and namespaces. Let's see some other examples of the command in a table:

Example command	Meaning
kubectl delete pod,service baz foo	Delete pods and services with same names baz and foo
kubectl delete pods,services -l name=myLabel	Delete pods and services with label name=myLabel
kubectl -n my-ns delete po,svc --all	Delete all pods and services in namespace my-ns

To stop the minikube cluster, issue simply:

$ minikube stop

If you would like to delete the current minikube cluster, you can issue the following command to do it:

$ minikube delete
