<p>I am in an environment where we are still using petsets. When I run the following command : </p>

<pre><code>kubectl delete petsets &lt;petset-name&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>The petset is deleted but the pods(pets) associated with it are not deleted. When I tried this locally on minikube using statefulsets, the statefulsets as well as pods are getting deleted. Is it the behaviour of petsets? or Is it a bug with petsets or my environment? Is there a way to debug this? Because when I checked the documentation here : <a href="https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/petset/#deleting-a-petset" rel="nofollow noreferrer">petsets</a>, it seems the pods should have been deleted!? </p>

<p>You are using an old version of kubernetes that is affected by <a href="https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/27438" rel="nofollow noreferrer">issue 27438</a>. Upgrade to 1.5. (See <code>kubectl version</code>)</p>
