Disabling your Kubernetes Applications

1. Disabling your Applications

There may be times when you want to temporarily disable your Kubernetes pods in order to perform maintenance or certain upgrades. You can do so through the following steps:

1. Access your ArgoCD

2. Navigate to the application directory for the namespace you wish to disable, in this case development-cinchy (Image 1). You should see your cluster component applications.
