Restart a deployment#
When making changes to ConfigMaps you may need to restart the cluster deployments, for the pods to apply the updates. Lens Desktop enables you to restart a deployment without using kubectl.
To restart a deployment:
- Connect to the cluster from Catalog > Clusters.
- Navigate to Workloads > Deployments through the left panel.
- Select a deployment and click Options > Restart in the right column.
- In the following dialog menu, click Restart.
After restarting the deployment, you can navigate to Workloads > Pods and check the status of the pods. There should be a new pod running in the relevant namespace. You can check it by sorting the Age column.
