title: How do I remove the Kubernetes dashboard resources from my deployment on Google Cloud Platform?
body: <p>I've created a Kubernetes deployment. However, there seem to be additional  pods running - that I'm hoping to be able to delete the unnecessary ones. </p>
  
  <p>I see no need to run the dashboard container. I'd like to remove it to free up CPU resources.</p>
  
  <p>How can I disable this container from starting up? Preferably from the deployment config.</p>
  
  <p>Essentially the following pod:</p>
  
  <pre><code>kubectl get pods --all-namespaces | grep "dashboard"                                  
  kube-system   kubernetes-dashboard-490794276-sb6qs                  1/1       Running   1          3d
  </code></pre>
