If there’s one thing that Kubernetes makes easy, it’s creating resources – pods, deployments, volumes – before long you’ll have tons of them lying around. Eventually, you’ll want to tear some of them down, to free up CPU, disk, and RAM for your next wild experiment. This happens to us all the time in our research clusters, and we’ve picked up a few tricks: If you’ve been dutifully recording your resource definitions in a YAML file, and just kept kubectl apply -ing it, you’re in luck! The kubectl delete command also understands the -f flag, and will remove every resource defined.
