### :warning: Notice:

This was only an experiment with kubectl plugins.

kubectl itself has `rollout restart` subcommand [[1](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#-em-restart-em-)] in version >1.15 which can be used as follow:

```

kubectl rollout restart deployment/nginx

```

# kubectl-rotate-pods

Helps you to forcefully restart pods of a deployment in a rolling update manner (depends on your deployment config) for whatever reason you may need. For instance when a ConfigMap or a Secret your pods depend on gets updated or to perform in-memory cache invalidation.

# Verify
