Deleting Applications

Deleting an application

To delete an application, use the console:

• navigate to the application view at http://console.vespa.ai/tenant/tenant-name/application where you can find the trash can icon to the far right, as an ACTION.
• navigate to the deploy view at http://console.vespa.ai/tenant/tenant-name/application/app-name/prod/deploy.

When the application deployments are deleted, delete the application in the console. Remove the CI job that builds and deploys application packages, if any.

Deleting an instance / region

To remove an instance or a deployment to a region from an application:

1. Remove the region from prod, or the instance from deployment in deployment.xml:

    <deployment version="1.0">
        <prod>
            <region>aws-us-east-1c</region>
            <!-- Removing the deployment in the region 'aws-eu-west-1a' -->
            <!--region>aws-eu-west-1a</region-->
        </prod>
    </deployment>
   

2. Add or modify validation-overrides.xml, allowing Vespa Cloud to remove production instances:

   <validation-overrides>
       <allow until="2021-03-01" comment="Remove region/instance ...">deployment-removal</allow>
       <!-- If the region was part of a global endpoint/instance had a global endpoint: -->
       <allow until="2021-03-01" comment="Remove region/instance ...">global-endpoint-change</allow>
   </validation-overrides>
   

3. Build and deploy the application package.
