How to Stop/Start/Restart Fabric Pods Including Rolling Restarts (Technical Note)
Abstract
The How to Stop/Start/Restart Fabric Pods Including Rolling Restarts technical note provides guidance and best practices for managing Fabric services in Kubernetes environments, including how to stop, start, and restart pods with minimal disruptions. It describes three main approaches:
- Using the K2cloud Orchestrator to pause and resume environments—this is the recommended method for cloud-managed setups, offering graceful shutdowns and restarts while preserving sequencing and availability.
- Using Kubernetes commands directly for environments where more control is needed: full restarts (scale down/up), rolling restarts to update pods incrementally, or restarting individual pods.
- Restarting from within a pod when debugging or applying service-level restarts without impacting the whole environment.
It emphasizes maintaining high availability, configuration consistency, and minimal downtime, and gives command examples (e.g., kubectl scale, kubectl rollout restart, kubectl delete pod, and k2fabric restart) tailored to different scenarios.
