Uninstall Aerospike Kubernetes Operator

This page explains how to uninstall the Aerospike Kubernetes Operator (AKO) from your cluster, including the cleanup of Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs), Custom Resources (CRs) and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) resources.

Clean up AKO CRDs, CRs and related RBAC resources

Before you uninstall AKO, clean up the CRDs, CRs, and other resources it created in your Kubernetes cluster.

1. Remove the CRDs that AKO created. This step automatically deletes any corresponding CRs in the Kubernetes cluster. Remove the following CRDs in sequence:

   kubectl delete crd aerospikerestores.asdb.aerospike.com
   
   kubectl delete crd aerospikebackups.asdb.aerospike.com
   
   kubectl delete crd aerospikebackupservices.asdb.aerospike.com
   
   kubectl delete crd aerospikeclusters.asdb.aerospike.com

2. Remove serviceaccount.

   kubectl -n NAMESPACE delete serviceaccount aerospike-operator-controller-manager

3. Use one of the following commands to remove the rolebinding or clusterrolebinding depending on which binding was created.

   kubectl -n NAMESPACE delete rolebinding AEROSPIKE_CLUSTER
   
   OR
   
   kubectl delete clusterrolebinding AEROSPIKE_CLUSTER

4. Remove ClusterRole.

   kubectl delete clusterrole aerospike-cluster

Uninstall AKO

OLM

1. Run the following commands to find the resource names on your cluster that you can delete.

   # List subscriptions
   kubectl get subscription -n NAMESPACE | grep aerospike
   
   # List CSVs
   kubectl get csv -n NAMESPACE | grep aerospike

2. Delete the Subscription.

   kubectl delete subscription SUBSCRIPTION -n NAMESPACE

3. Delete the ClusterServiceVersion (CSV).

   kubectl delete csv CSV -n NAMESPACE

4. If AKO was installed in a dedicated namespace and nothing else remains in it, you can remove the namespace with the following command:

   kubectl delete namespace NAMESPACE

Helm

1. Run helm list -n NAMESPACE to list all Helm releases available for that namespace.

2. Replace NAMESPACE with your namespace name, and RELEASE with the Helm release.

   helm uninstall RELEASE -n NAMESPACE

3. If AKO was installed in a dedicated namespace and nothing else remains in it, you can remove the namespace with the following command:

   kubectl delete namespace NAMESPACE
