Kubernetes pod gets recreated when deleted

Question

I have started pods with command

$ kubectl run busybox --image=busybox --restart=Never --tty -i --generator=run-pod/v1

Something went wrong

Answer 1

The root cause for the question asked was the deployment/job/replicasets spec attribute strategy->type which defines what should happen when the pod will be destroyed (either implicitly or explicitly). In my case, it was Recreate.

As per @nomad's answer, deleting the deployment/job/replicasets is the simple fix to avoid experimenting with deadly combos before messing up the cluster as a novice user.

Try the following commands to understand the behind the scene actions before jumping into debugging :

kubectl get all -A -o name
kubectl get events -A | grep
