Delete

The delete operation defines resources that should be deleted from a Kubernetes cluster.

Warning

The propagation policy is forced to Background because some types default to Orphan (this is the case for unmanaged jobs for example) and we don't want to let dangling pods run in the cluster after cleanup.

Configuration

The full structure of the Delete is documented here.
