Delete Pods

This section explains how to delete a pod.

Note

  • It is recommended to delete a pod by removing its managing resources (e.g., workloads or jobs) rather than directly deleting the pod.

  • If you directly delete the pod, depending on the policy of the managing resources, the system may recreate the pod.

Warning

Deleting a running pod may cause a service interruption. Please proceed with caution.

Prerequisites

You should join a cluster and have the Application Workload Management permission within the cluster. For more information, refer to “Cluster Members” and “Cluster Roles”.

Delete Multiple Pods
