podman-kube-down - Remove containers and pods based on Kubernetes YAML

podman kube down [options] file.yml|-|https://website.io/file.yml

podman kube down reads a specified Kubernetes YAML file, tearing down pods that were created by the podman kube play command via the same Kubernetes YAML file. Any volumes that were created by the previous podman kube play command remain intact unless the --force options is used. If the YAML file is specified as -, podman kube down reads the YAML from stdin. The input can also be a URL that points to a YAML file such as https://podman.io/demo.yml. podman kube down tears down the pods and containers created by podman kube play via the same Kubernetes YAML from the URL. However, podman kube down does not work with a URL if the YAML file the URL points to has been changed or altered since the creation of the pods and containers using podman kube play.

--force

Tear down the volumes linked to the PersistentVolumeClaims as part --down
