[SOLVED] Using Kubectl to remove a service without using an online resource

Using Kubectl to remove a service without using an online resource

I have followed the getting started instructions here: https://linkerd.io/2/getting-started/

Please see the command below:

kubectl kustomize kustomize/deployment | \
linkerd inject - | \
kubectl apply -f -

emojivoto is now installed an accessible as I expected.

How can I remove emojivoto? This appears to work:

kubectl delete -f https://run.linkerd.io/emojivoto.yml

However, is it possible to do this without using an online resource?

Solution

This is of course possible: The mentioned yaml consists of multiple object definitions. For example namespaces and service accounts.

Each of them can be deleted using kubectl delete <type> <name>.

Since all objects are created in the namespace emojivoto it is possible to remove everything by just removing the namespace: kubectl delete namespace emojivoto.

The other option is to save the yaml file locally and use kubectl delete -f <file> instead.
