title: shutting down kubernetes pod without using job
body: <p>I have a pod running and I have a hard time creating a job.yaml file that successfully does all the things I want it to do. Is there a way for me to shutdown the kubernetes pod without calling <code>kubectl delete jobs</code>? I looked into <code>kubectl stop pods</code> but its been deprecated.</p>
  
  <p>Also, is it bad to just keep a pod running even if there is no computation happening? </p>
