Uninstall the Apigee APIM Operator for Kubernetes

This page applies to Apigee, but not to Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

This page describes how to uninstall the Apigee APIM Operator for Kubernetes from a GKE cluster. The following sections outline the steps required to complete this task:

Required roles

If you assigned the required roles to your service account as described in Install the Apigee APIM Operator for Kubernetes, no additional IAM roles or permissions are required to complete these tasks.

You can choose to authorize actions on resources in your Google Kubernetes Engine cluster using the built-in role-based access control (RBAC) mechanism in Kubernetes. For more information, see Authorize actions in clusters using role-based access control.

Remove the API management policies

To remove the API management policies, remove all yaml Kubernetes resources applied to the GKE cluster in reverse order. For example, if you followed the steps in Use Apigee policies with Apigee APIM Operator for Kubernetes, you would remove the resources corresponding to the files in this order:

  • apim-policies.yaml
  • api-product.yaml
  • global-ext-lb1-apim-policy.yaml

Remove each resource using the following command: 

kubectl delete -f FILENAME
 where FILENAME is the name of the file corresponding to the resource you want to remove.
