Chapter 5. JWS Operator deletion from a cluster


If you no longer need to use the JWS Operator, you can subsequently delete the JWS Operator from a cluster.

You can delete the JWS Operator from a cluster in either of the following ways:

If you want to delete the JWS Operator by using a graphical user interface, you can use the OpenShift web console to delete the JWS Operator.

Prerequisites

  • You have deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using an account with cluster admin permissions.

    Note

    If you do not have cluster admin permissions, you can circumvent this requirement. For more information, see Allowing non-cluster administrators to install Operators.

Procedure

  1. Open the web console and click Operators > Installed Operators.
  2. Select the Actions menu and click Uninstall Operator.

    Note

    The Uninstall Operator option automatically removes the Operator, any Operator deployments, and Pods.

    Deleting the Operator does not remove any custom resource definitions or custom resources for the Operator, including CRDs or CRs. If the Operator has deployed applications on the cluster, or if the Operator has configured resources outside the cluster, you must clean up these applications and resources manually.

If you want to delete the JWS Operator by using a command-line interface, you can use the oc command-line tool to delete the JWS Operator.

Prerequisites

  • You have deployed an OpenShift Container Platform cluster by using an account with cluster admin permissions.

    Note

    If you do not have cluster admin permissions, you can circumvent this requirement. For more information, see Allowing non-cluster administrators to install Operators.

  • You have installed the oc tool on your local system.

Procedure

  1. Check the current version of the subscribed Operator:

    $ oc get subscription jws-operator -n <project_name> -o yaml | grep currentCSV
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    In the preceding example, replace <project_name> with the namespace of the project where you installed the Operator. If your Operator was installed to all namespaces, replace <project_name> with openshift-operators.

    The preceding command displays the following output, where v2.0.x refers to the Operator version (for example, v2.0.0):

    f:currentCSV: {}
    currentCSV: jws-operator.v2.0.x
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Delete the subscription for the Operator:

    $ oc delete subscription jws-operator -n <project_name>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    In the preceding example, replace <project_name> with the namespace of the project where you installed the Operator. If your operator was installed to all namespaces, replace <project_name> with openshift-operators.

  3. Delete the CSV for the Operator in the target namespace:

    $ oc delete clusterserviceversion <currentCSV> -n <project_name>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    In the preceding example, replace <currentCSV> with the currentCSV value that you obtained in Step 1 (for example, jws-operator.v2.0.x). Replace <project_name> with the namespace of the project where you installed the Operator. If your operator was installed to all namespaces, replace <project_name> with openshift-operators.

    The preceding command displays a message to confirm that the CSV is deleted.

    For example:

    clusterserviceversion.operators.coreos.com "jws-operator.v2.0.x" deleted
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
