karmadactl delete

Delete resources by file names, stdin, resources and names, or by resources and label selector

Synopsis

Delete resources by file names, stdin, resources and names, or by resources and label selector.

JSON and YAML formats are accepted. Only one type of argument may be specified: file names, resources and names, or resources and label selector.

Some resources, such as pods, support graceful deletion. These resources define a default period before they are forcibly terminated (the grace period) but you may override that value with the --grace-period flag, or pass --now to set a grace-period of 1. Because these resources often represent entities in the cluster, deletion may not be acknowledged immediately. If the node hosting a pod is down or cannot reach the API server, termination may take significantly longer than the grace period. To force delete a resource, you must specify the --force flag. Note: only a subset of resources support graceful deletion. In absence of the support, the --grace-period flag is ignored.

IMPORTANT: Force deleting pods does not wait for confirmation that the pod's processes have been terminated, which can leave those processes running until the node detects the deletion and completes graceful deletion. If your processes use shared storage or talk to a remote API and depend on the name of the pod to identify themselves, force deleting those pods may result in multiple processes running on different machines using the same identification which may lead to data corruption or inconsistency. Only force delete pods when you are sure the pod is terminated, or if your application can tolerate multiple copies of the same pod running at once. Also, if you force delete pods, the scheduler may place new pods on those nodes before the node has released those resources and causing those pods to be evicted immediately.

Note that the delete command does NOT do resource version checks, so if someone submits an update to a resource right when you submit a delete, their update will be lost along with the rest of the resource.

After a CustomResourceDefinition is deleted, invalidation of discovery cache may take up to 6 hours. If you don't want to wait, you might want to run "[1]karmadactl api-resources" to refresh the discovery cache.

karmadactl delete ([-f FILENAME] | [-k DIRECTORY] | TYPE [(NAME | -l label | --all)])

Examples

  # Delete a propagationpolicy using the type and name specified in propagationpolicy.json
[1]karmadactl delete -f ./propagationpolicy.json

# Delete resources from a directory containing kustomization.yaml - e.g. dir/kustomization.yaml
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete -k dir

# Delete resources from all files that end with '.json'
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete -f '*.json'

# Delete a propagationpolicy based on the type and name in the JSON passed into stdin
cat propagationpolicy.json | [1]%!s(MISSING) delete -f -

# Delete propagationpolicies and services with same names "baz" and "foo"
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete propagationpolicy,service baz foo

# Delete propagationpolicies and services with label name=myLabel
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete propagationpolicies,services -l name=myLabel

# Delete a propagationpolicy with minimal delay
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete propagationpolicy foo --now

# Force delete a propagationpolicy on a dead node
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete propagationpolicy foo --force

# Delete all propagationpolicies
[1]%!s(MISSING) delete propagationpolicies --all

Options

      --all                             Delete all resources, in the namespace of the specified resource types.
-A, --all-namespaces If present, list the requested object(s) across all namespaces. Namespace in current context is ignored even if specified with --namespace.
--cascade string[="background"] Must be "background", "orphan", or "foreground". Selects the deletion cascading strategy for the dependents (e.g. Pods created by a ReplicationController). Defaults to background. (default "background")
--dry-run string[="unchanged"] Must be "none", "server", or "client". If client strategy, only print the object that would be sent, without sending it. If server strategy, submit server-side request without persisting the resource. (default "none")
--field-selector string Selector (field query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. --field-selector key1=value1,key2=value2). The server only supports a limited number of field queries per type.
-f, --filename strings containing the resource to delete.
--force If true, immediately remove resources from API and bypass graceful deletion. Note that immediate deletion of some resources may result in inconsistency or data loss and requires confirmation.
--grace-period int Period of time in seconds given to the resource to terminate gracefully. Ignored if negative. Set to 1 for immediate shutdown. Can only be set to 0 when --force is true (force deletion). (default -1)
-h, --help help for delete
--ignore-not-found Treat "resource not found" as a successful delete. Defaults to "true" when --all is specified.
-i, --interactive If true, delete resource only when user confirms.
-k, --kustomize string Process a kustomization directory. This flag can't be used together with -f or -R.
--now If true, resources are signaled for immediate shutdown (same as --grace-period=1).
-o, --output string Output mode. Use "-o name" for shorter output (resource/name).
--raw string Raw URI to DELETE to the server. Uses the transport specified by the kubeconfig file.
-R, --recursive Process the directory used in -f, --filename recursively. Useful when you want to manage related manifests organized within the same directory.
-l, --selector string Selector (label query) to filter on, supports '=', '==', and '!='.(e.g. -l key1=value1,key2=value2). Matching objects must satisfy all of the specified label constraints.
--timeout duration The length of time to wait before giving up on a delete, zero means determine a timeout from the size of the object
--wait If true, wait for resources to be gone before returning. This waits for finalizers. (default true)

Options inherited from parent commands

      --add-dir-header                   If true, adds the file directory to the header of the log messages
--alsologtostderr log to standard error as well as files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--kubeconfig string Paths to a kubeconfig. Only required if out-of-cluster.
--log-backtrace-at traceLocation when logging hits line file:N, emit a stack trace (default :0)
--log-dir string If non-empty, write log files in this directory (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--log-file string If non-empty, use this log file (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--log-file-max-size uint Defines the maximum size a log file can grow to (no effect when -logtostderr=true). Unit is megabytes. If the value is 0, the maximum file size is unlimited. (default 1800)
--logtostderr log to standard error instead of files (default true)
--one-output If true, only write logs to their native severity level (vs also writing to each lower severity level; no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--skip-headers If true, avoid header prefixes in the log messages
--skip-log-headers If true, avoid headers when opening log files (no effect when -logtostderr=true)
--stderrthreshold severity logs at or above this threshold go to stderr when writing to files and stderr (no effect when -logtostderr=true or -alsologtostderr=true) (default 2)
-v, --v Level number for the log level verbosity
--vmodule moduleSpec comma-separated list of pattern=N settings for file-filtered logging
