title: How to pause a kubernetes service
body: <p>I've got a setup described bellow - so a simple replication controller, service and an https ingress deployed with kubernetes on google cloud.</p>
  
  <p>I need to kill my app for a bit so that I can test how the rest of my stack reacts - what's a good way to do it?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried deleting the service, but when I've recreated it, it wouldn't pick up the backend service (replication controller and pod got created and I could access them internally, but not via the ingress - the service didn't see it.</p>
