This section describes how to delete a pod.

Note

  • It is recommended to delete a pod by deleting its managing resource (such as a workload or Job), rather than deleting the pod directly.

  • If you delete a pod directly, depending on the policy of the pod’s managing resource, the system may recreate the pod.
Warning

Deleting a running pod may cause business interruption. Please perform this operation with caution.

Prerequisites

You need to join a cluster and have the Application Workload Management permission in the cluster. For more information, see Cluster Members and Cluster Roles.
