Restart a service

Description

Some times you need to restart a services. There are some procedures to do this task. Normally we use the command line tool or Argocd user interface. In both cases we delete the current pod and the definition of the deployment will launch a new one.

Requirements

If you want to use command line tool you need kubectl installed and configured.

⁠

Kubectl command line⁠

If you want to use the argocd user interface you need a github user that is part of the team 1doc3 developers to get read only access or senior to have write access.

Procedure

Using the command line tool

Use the next command to discover all pods for an specific namespace

> kubectl -n <namespace> get pods
