podman kube down [options] file.yml|-|https://website.io/file.yml [file2.yml|https://website.io/file2.yml ...]

podman kube down reads one or more specified Kubernetes YAML files, tearing down pods that were created by the podman kube play command via the same Kubernetes YAML files. 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 inputs can also be URLs that point to YAML files 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 URLs. 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.

When multiple YAML files are specified (local files, URLs, or a combination), they are processed sequentially and combined with YAML document separators (---), just like with podman kube play.

Example YAML file demo.yml:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
...
spec:
  containers:
  - command:
    - top
    - name: container
      value: podman
    image: foobar
...

Remove the pod and containers as described in the demo.yml file

podman kube down does not work with a URL if the YAML file the URL points to has been changed or altered since it was used to create the pods and containers.
