Uninstall Everest

You can run the commands below to remove all Everest resources including:

  • All Kubernetes objects created by Everest
  • All downloaded binaries and files like everestctl.

Warning

Uninstalling Everest will remove all database clusters and associated data from the Kubernetes cluster, including backups!

To uninstall Percona Everest:

  1. Uninstall Everest:

    everestctl uninstall
    
  2. Remove the unused Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs).

    warning

    • Deleting CRDs can potentially cause issues with any custom resources that depend on those definitions within the kubernetes cluster. Ensure that you do not remove any CRDs that are being used by operator deployments outside of Everest.

  • Everest
  • VictoriaMetrics
  • OLM

Besides the operators mentioned above, you must have installed at least one of the following operators.
