TSB Uninstallation

This page describes the procedure to follow to uninstall TSB from a cluster.

note

The process will be similar for all of the planes (management, control, and data planes), because you’ll need to delete any custom resource for the plane, then delete the operator itself.

Data plane

As the data plane takes care of deploying ingress gateways in your cluster, the first step is to delete all of the IngressGateway custom resources from your cluster.

kubectl delete ingressgateways.install.tetrate.io \
    --all --all-namespaces

This will delete all the IngressGateway’s deployed in every namespace in the cluster. Once you’ve run this command, the data plane operator will delete the deployments and associated resources for every gateway. This may take some time to ensure that they’re all successfully removed.

To make sure that you gracefully remove the istio-operator deployment, you must scale and delete the remaining objects in the data plane operator namespace in the following order:

kubectl -n istio-gateway scale deployment \
    tsb-operator-data-plane --replicas=0
kubectl -n istio-gateway delete \
    istiooperators.install.istio.io --all
kubectl -n istio-gateway delete deployment --all

This will delete both the TSB and Istio operator deployments stored in the data plane operator namespace. Now you can clean up the validation and mutation web hooks.

kubectl delete \
    validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-egress \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-ingress \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-tier1
kubectl delete \
    mutatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-egress \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-ingress \
    tsb-operator-data-plane-tier1

Removing the control plane will remove all TSB components as well as the Istio control plane used by TSB and render any sidecars in the cluster non-functional.

Control Plane

To delete the TSB control plane, first delete the IstioOperator associated with it.

kubectl delete controlplanes.install.tetrate.io --all --all-namespaces

It may take some time for the TSB operator in the istio-system namespace to clean up the Istio components, but once it’s complete, delete the validation and mutation web hooks.

kubectl delete \
    validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-control-plane
kubectl delete \
    mutatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-control-plane
kubectl delete \
    validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    xcp-edge-istio-system

Then delete the tsb-system and xcp-multicluster namespaces.

kubectl delete namespace tsb-system xcp-multicluster

In order to clean up the cluster-scoped resources, use the tctl install manifest command to render the cluster-operators manifest and delete the resulting manifest.

tctl install manifest cluster-operators --registry=dummy | \
    kubectl delete -f - --ignore-not-found
kubectl delete clusterrole xcp-operator-edge
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding xcp-operator-edge

Now clean up all the control plane related custom resource definitions in your cluster.

kubectl delete crd \
    clusters.xcp.tetrate.io \
    controlplanes.install.tetrate.io \
    edgexcps.install.xcp.tetrate.io \
    egressgateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    egressgateways.install.tetrate.io \
    gatewaygroups.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    globalsettings.xcp.tetrate.io \
    ingressgateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    ingressgateways.install.tetrate.io \
    securitygroups.security.xcp.tetrate.io \
    securitysettings.security.xcp.tetrate.io \
    servicedefinitions.registry.tetrate.io \
    serviceroutes.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    tier1gateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    tier1gateways.install.tetrate.io \
    trafficgroups.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    trafficsettings.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    workspaces.xcp.tetrate.io \
    workspacesettings.xcp.tetrate.io \
    --ignore-not-found

At this point, all the TSB resources in the Kubernetes cluster are removed, but in order to remove this cluster from TSB configuration, you have to run the following command:

tctl delete cluster <cluster>

Management plane

To uninstall the management plane, you need to remove the ManagementPlane CR that describes your management plane configuration, which will force the management plane operator to delete any components related to it.

kubectl -n tsb delete managementplanes.install.tetrate.io --all

Then, delete the management plane operator.

kubectl -n tsb delete deployment tsb-operator-management-plane

Finally, delete the validation and mutation web hooks.

kubectl delete \
    validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-management-plane
kubectl delete \
    mutatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    tsb-operator-management-plane
kubectl delete \
    validatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    xcp-central-tsb
kubectl delete \
    mutatingwebhookconfigurations.admissionregistration.k8s.io \
    xcp-central-tsb

To clean up the cluster-scoped resources, use the tctl install manifest command to render the management-plane-operator manifest and delete it.

tctl install manifest management-plane-operator \
    --registry=dummy | \
    kubectl delete -f - --ignore-not-found
kubectl delete clusterrole xcp-operator-central
kubectl delete clusterrolebinding xcp-operator-central

Now clean up all the management plane related custom resource definitions in your cluster.

kubectl delete crd \
    centralxcps.install.xcp.tetrate.io \
    clusters.xcp.tetrate.io \
    egressgateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    egressgateways.install.tetrate.io \
    gatewaygroups.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    globalsettings.xcp.tetrate.io \
    ingressgateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    ingressgateways.install.tetrate.io \
    managementplanes.install.tetrate.io \
    securitygroups.security.xcp.tetrate.io \
    securitysettings.security.xcp.tetrate.io \
    servicedefinitions.registry.tetrate.io \
    serviceroutes.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    tier1gateways.gateway.xcp.tetrate.io \
    tier1gateways.install.tetrate.io \
    trafficgroups.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    trafficsettings.traffic.xcp.tetrate.io \
    workspaces.xcp.tetrate.io \
    workspacesettings.xcp.tetrate.io
