How to delete an environment

Assume that you have two environments, test and prod. In your overrides file, the definitions might look something like this:

...
envs:
  - name: test
    serviceAccountPaths:
      synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
      udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
  - name: prod
    serviceAccountPaths:
      synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
      udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
...

To delete the prod environment, follow these steps:

  1. Get your gcloud authentication credentials:
    TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)
  2. Delete the environment from any associated environment groups, one at a time:
    curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
      "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP/attachments/prod"
  3. Do a dry run to test removal of the runtime components:

    Helm

    helm delete ENV_NAME --dry-run
    

    The --dry-run command will return the same results as the command without the --dry-run option. For example:

    helm -n apigee delete example-env
    release "example-env" uninstalled

    apigeectl

    $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl delete -f OVERRIDES_FILE.yaml --env ENV_NAME --dry-run=client
  4. If the dry run is error-free, remove the runtime components:

    Helm

    helm delete ENV_NAME
    

    apigeectl

    $APIGEECTL_HOME/apigeectl delete -f OVERRIDES_FILE.yaml --env ENV_NAME
  5. Open your overrides file and remove the prod environment definition from envs and virtualhosts, leaving only the test definitions. For example:
    ...
    envs:
      - name: test
        serviceAccountPaths:
          synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
          udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
    ...
  6. Save the file.
