Are you using plain vanilla Kubernates or you are using any Vendor based Kubernetes [OpenShift/PCF/AWS/Azure etc.,] ?

Depending on the Kubernates you use in your organization, you need to follow the deployment/installation guides. In Kubernates world, there is no such concept of Start/Stop/Restart the POD, you will simply redeploy or recreate the PODs each time.

Sharing some articles which will help you in understanding these topics:
