# Restart Pulsar clusters

You may encounter situations when it is necessary to restart a Pulsar cluster. For example, to apply a credentials change in a Kubernetes Secret.

To restart a Pulsar cluster, follow these steps.

1. Find the name of the StatefulSet corresponding to the Pulsar cluster that you want to restart.

   ```
   kubectl get statefulset --namespace <k8s_namespace>
   ```

2. Restart the Pulsar cluster by using the StatefulSet name obtained from the previous step.

   ```
   kubectl rollout restart statefulset/<statefulset_name> --namespace <k8s_namespace>
   ```
