Delete/Remove Clusters

Clusters created in AI platform Container Management can be either deleted or removed. Clusters integrated into AI platform can only be removed.

Info

If you want to delete an integrated cluster, you should delete it in the platform where it is created.

In AI platform, the difference between Delete and Remove is:

  • Delete will destroy the cluster and reset the data of all nodes under the cluster. All data will be totally cleared and lost. Making a backup before deleting a cluster is a recommended best practice. You can no longer use that cluster anymore.
  • Remove just removes the cluster from AI platform. It will not destroy the cluster and no data will be lost. You can still use the cluster in other platforms or re-integrate it into AI platform later if needed.

Note

  • You should have Admin or Kpanda Owner permissions to perform delete or remove operations.
  • Before deleting a cluster, you should turn off Cluster Deletion Protection in Cluster Settings -> Advanced Settings , otherwise the Delete Cluster option will not be displayed.
  • The global service cluster cannot be deleted or removed.

  1. Enter the Container Management module, find your target cluster, click ... on the right, and select Remove in the drop-down list.
