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.
