Decommission a hybrid region

This guide explains the procedure to decommission a region in a multi region environment.

Decommission a hybrid region

Set the kubernetes contexts to the region that needs to be decommissioned.

List your current contexts to see the context name for each cluster:

kubectl config get-contexts

Set the context to the cluster and region you want to decommission:

kubectl config use-context CONTEXT_NAME

Where CONTEXT_NAME is the context name for the cluster and region.

For example:

kubectl config get-contexts
  CURRENT  NAME                                                CLUSTER                                             AUTHINFO                                           NAMESPACE
           gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-1     gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-1     gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-1    apigee
  *        gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-2     gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-2     gke_example-org-1_us-central1_example-cluster-2    apigee
           gke_example-org-1_us-west1_example-cluster-2        gke_example-org-1_us-west1_example-cluster-2        gke_example-org-1_us-west1_example-cluster-2       apigee

kubectl config use-context gke_example-org-1_us-west1_example-cluster-2

Validate all the pods in the region are in a running or completed state:
```
kubectl get pods -n apigee
```
```
kubectl get pods -n apigee-system
```

Validate the release of components using helm:

helm -n apigee list

helm -n apigee-system list

For example:

helm -n apigee list

Validate the status of the Cassandra cluster.

List the cassandra pods:

kubectl get pods -n APIGEE_NAMESPACE -l app=apigee-cassandra

For example:

kubectl get pods -n apigee -l app=apigee-cassandra
  NAME                          READY    STATUS     RESTARTS    AGE
  apigee-cassandra-default-0    1/1      Running    0           2h
  apigee-cassandra-default-1    1/1      Running    0           2h
  apigee-cassandra-default-2    1/1      Running    0           2h
  apigee-cassandra-default-3    1/1      Running    0           16m
  apigee-cassandra-default-4    1/1      Running    0           14m
  apigee-cassandra-default-5    1/1      Running    0           13m
  apigee-cassandra-default-6    1/1      Running    0           9m
  apigee-cassandra-default-7    1/1      Running    0           9m
  apigee-cassandra-default-8    1/1      Running    0           8m

Delete the Apigee instance in the context you just selected:
Delete the components one at a time.

Note: In the following helm delete commands, the names given for the compnents are the release names, the names specified for the component when they were installed. For example, if you installed the datastore component with the helm command helm install datastore apigee-datastore, the release name for the component is datastore. If you used different release names when installing the components, specify those names when deleting them.
For example: helm -n apigee delete my-datastore-region-1
```
helm -n apigee delete datastore
```
```
helm -n apigee delete telemetry
```
```
helm -n apigee delete apigee-ingress-manager
```
```
helm -n apigee delete redis
```
```
helm -n apigee delete ORG_NAME
```
Repeat the following command for every environment:
```
helm -n apigee delete ENV_NAME
```
Repeat the following command for every environment group:
```
helm -n apigee delete ENV_GROUP_NAME
```
```
helm -n apigee-system delete operator
```

Verify there are no pods remaining in the Apigee namespaces:

kubectl get pods -n apigee
kubectl get pods -n apigee-system
kubectl get pods -n cert-manager

Set the context to other existing regions and make sure the cassandra datacenter is removed from the existing ring. The output should not show the removed data center details.
```
kubectl exec apigee-cassandra-default-0 -n apigee  -- nodetool -u JMX_USER -pw JMX_PASSWORD status
```
