Delete an Aerospike Cluster on Kubernetes

Overview

You can delete your Aerospike cluster running on Kubernetes by deleting its Custom Resource (CR) file.

Deleting a cluster causes a complete shutdown of all pods (nodes) in the cluster, which may not be recoverable. When a cluster is deleted, all resources created by AKO for that cluster are permanently lost.

Whether data in a Persistent Volume Control (PVC) is deleted or retained depends on the cascadeDelete flag set in the CR. Data persistence also depends on the underlying storageClass, which is set by the Kubernetes administrator and is not part of AKO.

Process

Run kubectl delete on the Custom Resource (CR) file to delete the cluster:

Terminal window
kubectl delete -f aerospike-cluster.yaml

If you are using a local deployment like Minikube, you can also delete the cluster with minikube delete.
