I have a service running in minikube cluster:
$ kubectl get service
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 4s
I tried to delete the service:
$ kubectl delete --all services --all-namespaces
service "kubernetes" deleted
$ kubectl get service
NAME TYPE CLUSTER-IP EXTERNAL-IP PORT(S) AGE
kubernetes ClusterIP 10.96.0.1 <none> 443/TCP 2s
It is deleted but it restarts by itself. I have deleted all pod and deployment. But what makes the service restart? How can I delete the whole service?
You can not delete the kubernetes service. Even if you delete it it will be re-created by kubernetes control plane. This service points to Kubernetes API Server pods and does not make sense to be deleted by users because that can render many other critical components that depends on this service non-functional.
