Delete Redis¶

This page guides you through the steps required to delete a Redis instance.

Prerequisites¶

• You are a member of a NAIS team
• You have set up command-line access

Steps¶

Before you delete a Redis instance, ensure that no applications are using it. If you delete a Redis instance in use, the applications will lose access to the data stored in the instance.

List Redis instances¶

To list all Redis instances belonging to your team:

1. Open NAIS Console in your browser and select your team.
2. Select the Redis tab
3. Find the name of the Redis instance you want to delete

Disable termination protection¶

Before your can delete a specific Redis instance, you must first disable termination protection.

To disable termination protection, run the following command:

kubectl patch redis <REDIS-NAME> \
  --type json \
  -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/terminationProtection", "value": false}]'

Delete Redis instance¶

To delete the Redis instance, run the following command:

kubectl delete redis <REDIS-NAME>

Remove references from application manifests¶

Ensure that all references to the Redis instance are removed from your application manifests:

spec:
-  redis:
-    - instance: <REDIS-INSTANCE-NAME>
-      access: <ACCESS-LEVEL>
