I am using Kubernetes to run a Docker service. This is a defective service that requires a restart everyday. For multiple reasons we can't programmatically solve the problem and just restarting the docker everyday will do. When I migrated to Kubernetes I noticed I can't do "docker restart [mydocker]" but as the docker is a deployment with reCreate strategy I just need to delete the pod to have Kubernetes create a new one.

Can I automate this task of deleting the Pod, or an alternative one to restart it, using a CronTask in Kubernetes?

Thanks for any directions/examples.

Edit: My current deployment yml:
