how to delete kubectl service

I executed the following command: % kubectl get service

It returned this list of services that were created at one point in time with kubectl:

NAME CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
car-example-service 10.0.0.129 <nodes> 8025:31564/TCP,1025:31764/TCP 10h
circle-example-service 10.0.0.48 <nodes> 9000:30362/TCP 9h
demo-service 10.0.0.9 <nodes> 8025:30696/TCP,1025:32047/TCP 10h
example-servic 10.0.0.168 <nodes> 8080:30231/TCP 1d
example-service 10.0.0.68 <nodes> 8080:32308/TCP 1d
example-service2 10.0.0.184 <nodes> 9000:32727/TCP 13h
example-webservice 10.0.0.35 <nodes> 9000:32256/TCP 1d
hello-node 10.0.0.224 <pending> 8080:32393/TCP 120d
kubernetes 10.0.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 120d
mouse-example-service 10.0.0.40 <nodes> 9000:30189/TCP 9h
spring-boot-web 10.0.0.171 <nodes> 8080:32311/TCP 9h
spring-boot-web-purple 10.0.0.42 <nodes> 8080:31740/TCP 9h

I no longer want any of these services listed, because when I list resources:% kubectl get rs

I am expecting that I only see the spring-boot-web resource listed.

NAME DESIRED CURRENT READY AGE
spring-boot-web-1175758536 1 1 0 18m

Please help clarify why I am seeing services that are listed , when the resources only show 1 resource.

Simply call this command.

1/Get all available services:

kubectl get service -o wide

2/ Then you can delete any services like this:

kubectl delete svc <YourServiceName>

1

show deployment

$ kubectl get deployments;
NAME DESIRED CURRENT UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE
spring-hello 1 1 1 1 22h
spring-world 1 1 1 1 22h
vfe-hello-wrold 1 1 1 1 14m

show services

$kubectl get services;
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 2d
spring-hello NodePort 10.103.27.226 <none> 8081:30812/TCP 23h
spring-world NodePort 10.102.21.165 <none> 8082:31557/TCP 23h
vfe-hello-wrold NodePort 10.101.23.36 <none> 8083:31532/TCP 14m

delete deployment

$ kubectl delete deployments vfe-hello-wrold
deployment.extensions "vfe-hello-wrold" deleted

delete services

$ kubectl delete service vfe-hello-wrold
service "vfe-hello-wrold" deleted

Kubernetes objects like Service and Deployment/ReplicaSet/Pod are independent and their deletions do not cascade to each other (like it does between say Deployment/RS/Pod). You need to manage your services independently from other objects, so you just need to delete the ones that are still lingering behind.

If you want to delete multiple related or non related objects at the same time

 kubectl delete <objType>/objname <objType>/objname <objType>/objname

Example

 kubectl delete service/myhttpd-clusterip service/myhttpd-nodeport kubectl delete service/myhttpd-lb deployment/myhttpd

This also works

kubectl delete deploy/httpenv svc/httpenv-np

To delete ALL services in ALL namespaces just run:

kubectl delete --all services --namespace=*here-you-enter-namespace

The other option is to delete the deployment with:

kubectl delete deployment deployment-name

That will delete the service as well!

IMPORTANT: And watch out when you run this command in production!

Cheers!
