Stop Workspaces

Sometimes it becomes necessary to stop Gitpod workspaces (in a <namespace>). Usually this needs to be done when updating Gitpod. Please see the update guide for more information.

This can be done with kubectl, and when done so, the IDE is closed, data in /workspace is backed up, and then the pod finally terminates.
