Is it possible to delete POD in kubernetes based on creation time or age?
Example : I would like to delete all PODs which are older than 1 day. These PODs are orphaned , therefore no new PODs will be created.

Destroy Pod The action of deleting the pod is simple. To delete the pod you have created, just run kubectl delete pod nginx . Be sure to confirm the name of the pod you want to delete before pressing Enter. If you have completed the task of deleting the pod successfully, pod nginx deleted will appear in the terminal.
Deleting a namespace sometimes leaves orphaned deployment and pods which can't be deleted #36891. area/api. area/apiserver area/HA lifecycle/rotten. priority/important-soon.
This command will delete all PODs older than one day :
kubectl get pods -o go-template --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}} {{.metadata.creationTimestamp}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}' | awk '$2 <= "'$(date -d 'yesterday' -Ins --utc | sed 's/+0000/Z/')'" { print $1 }' | xargs --no-run-if-empty kubectl delete pod This command will delete all PODs older than 4 hours :
kubectl get pods -o go-template --template '{{range .items}}{{.metadata.name}} {{.metadata.creationTimestamp}}{{"\n"}}{{end}}' | awk '$2 <= "'$(date -d'now-4 hours' -Ins --utc | sed 's/+0000/Z/')'" { print $1 }' | xargs --no-run-if-empty kubectl delete pod If you love us?
