Remove a cluster from Calico Cloud Free

You can disconnect and remove your cluster from Calico Cloud Free in minutes. When you remove your cluster, you will no longer be able to view or manage it from the Calico Cloud web console. All log data will be permanently deleted within 24 hours.

Prerequisites​

  • You have a cluster that is connected to Calico Cloud Free.
  • You are signed in to the Calico Cloud web console.
  • You have kubectl access to the connected Kubernetes cluster.

Remove a cluster from Calico Cloud Free​

  1. Disconnect your cluster from Calico Cloud Free by deleting the three resources you created to connect your cluster:

    kubectl delete managementclusterconnection tigera-secure
    kubectl delete secret -n tigera-operator tigera-managed-cluster-connection
    kubectl delete secret -n tigera-operator tigera-voltron-linseed-certs-public
    Sample output
    managementclusterconnection.operator.tigera.io "tigera-secure" deleted
    secret "tigera-managed-cluster-connection" deleted
    secret "tigera-voltron-linseed-certs-public" deleted

    On the Managed Clusters page, your cluster's connection status will change to Disconnected.

  2. To remove your cluster from Calico Cloud, click Actions > Delete.

  3. If you made changes to your network policies or firewall to allow egress traffic to Calico Cloud, you may want to revert those changes.
