How to delete an environment

Assume that you have two environments,test andprod. 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...
Note: See:

To delete theprod 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:

    No data residency

    curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP/attachments/prod"

    Data residency

    curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer$TOKEN" \  "https://$CONTROL_PLANE_LOCATION-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 delete$ENV_NAME -nAPIGEE_NAMESPACE --dry-run=server

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

    helm -n apigee delete example-envrelease "example-env" uninstalled
  4. If the dry run is error-free, remove the runtime components:
    helm delete$ENV_NAME -nAPIGEE_NAMESPACE
  5. Open your overrides file and remove theprod environment definition fromenvs andvirtualhosts, leaving only thetest 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.
