<p>I am trying to shutdown kubernet clusters. Is there any method to shutdown clusters without deleting it, We want to start the same cluster after some time.</p>

<p>Yes, you can do that. Follow the below steps</p>

<ol>
<li>Shut down kubelet on all the nodes</li>
<li>Shut down docker on all the nodes</li>
<li>Shut down etcd if you are running etcd externally as a service</li>
</ol>
