Destroy the Deployment from Kubernetes

Warning

This content is part of the legacy version of Waypoint that is no longer actively maintained. For additional information on the new vision of Waypoint, check out this blog post and the HCP Waypoint documentation.

When you are ready to clean up, you can destroy the application in Waypoint and uninstall any Waypoint components from the cluster before destroying the cluster itself.

Destroy the application

Remove your application from the cluster by running the destroy command. Respond yes when prompted to confirm the operation. This will destroy any active deployments and releases.

Do you really want to destroy all resources for this app? Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve: yes

Waypoint will start the process and output the following.

Uninstall Waypoint

There are no components to uninstall if you use HCP Waypoint.

Deactivate HCP Waypoint

Deactivating HCP Waypoint is an optional step that disables Waypoint for your HCP project. This will not delete any runners or images that have been pushed to a registry.

Click the Manage button on the top right of the page, and then click on the Deactivate Waypoint option.

You can re-enable Waypoint by clicking on the Activate Waypoint button in the top right of the page.

Destroy the cluster

Reset the Kubernetes cluster running on Docker Desktop by opening the Docker Desktop application, navigating to the Preferences screen, clicking on the Kubernetes option in the left navigation, and clicking the Reset Kubernetes Cluster button. This will take some time to destroy and recreate the cluster.
