Step 1: Deprovision Cluster

In this step, we will deprovision the AKS cluster with the RCTL CLI. The controller will cleanup all cluster components in your Azure account.

  • Execute the following command to begin deprovisioning the cluster. Note, update the cluster-name in the below command with the name of your cluster.

    ./rctl delete cluster <cluster-name>

  • The cluster provision status will show " INFRA DELETION IN PROGRESS". Note, it can take approximately 20 minutes for the deletion to finish
