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

## SYNOPSIS
**podman kube down** *file.yml|-*

## DESCRIPTION
**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. If the YAML file is specified as `-`, `podman kube down` reads the YAML from stdin.

## EXAMPLES

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 demo.yml
52182811df2b1e73f36476003a66ec872101ea59034ac0d4d3a7b40903b955a6
```

Remove the pod and containers as described in the`demo.yml` file YAML sent to stdin
```
$ cat demo.yml | podman kube play -
52182811df2b1e73f36476003a66ec872101ea59034ac0d4d3a7b40903b955a6
```
