Delete container pods stuck in state unknown on kubernetes
Sometime, Pods are stuck in “Unknown” state. Those pods can’t deleted. Cluster got into this state when I have been summitting many pods at once.
eg:
NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
asdmp-doctor-3477391423-97t2v 0/1 Unknown 0 14h

To list “unknown” pod,
kubectl get pods -o wide | grep Unknown
Use the below command to delete these pods.
kubectl delete pods --grace-period=0 --force
