Delete the Apigee instance in the context you just selected with the apigeectl
command:
Apigeectl delete --all -f overrides.yaml
Check the current Kubernetes pods:
Kubectl get pods -n apigee
Kubectl get pods -n apigee-system
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.
