Destroying a hosted cluster on bare metal¶

You might want to remove a hosted cluster if you are no longer using it, you are trying to reduce resources, or the hosted cluster is experiencing issues that are difficult to resolve.

Destroying a hosted cluster on bare metal by using the CLI¶

If you created a hosted cluster by using the command-line interface (CLI), you can destroy that hosted cluster and its back-end resources by running a command.

Procedure

• Delete the hosted cluster and its back-end resources by running the following command:
  terminal

  $ oc delete -f <hosted_cluster_config>.yaml

  Specify the name of the configuration YAML file that was rendered when you created the hosted cluster.

  Note

  If you created the hosted cluster without specifying the --render and --render-sensitive flags in its configuration file, you must remove its back-end resources manually.
