Delete an OpenSearch service

You can manage your services using

• the Cloud Foundry CLI or the Cloud Foundry UI (Stratos), see Getting Started CloudFoundry
• the STACKIT CLI or the STACKIT Portal, see the instructions below.

Services must always be managed in the environment they were created in.

• Services created in the STACKIT Portal/CLI must also be managed/deleted in the STACKIT Portal/CLI.
  In the STACKIT Portal, some (not all) services may be displayed that were created using Cloud Foundry (esp. the Flex databases).
• Services created using Cloud Foundry must be managed/deleted using Cloud Foundry.
  Services displayed in Cloud Foundry as part of an organization prefixed by stackit_portal_prod_ have been created using the STACKIT Portal/CLI and must be managed from there, even if management options are displayed in Cloud Foundry.

STACKIT Portal/CLI and Cloud Foundry cross-management is not possible

Deleting an instance is irreversible. It includes deletion of all settings and configurations made for this instance, all data stored in the service (if any) and all corresponding backups in the STACKIT cloud.

If you proceed with the action described here, your data will be lost irrevocably.

Please check carefully,

• which of your data are affected,
• if those data are still in use or otherwise required to be present in your organization,
• and if a backup on your side is necessary, if it exists and if it is up to date and in usable condition.

Do not proceed unless you have checked the above points thoroughly and are authorized within your organization to delete the data.

STACKIT Portal

1. Select the project in which you want to delete an instance.
2. Select the product from the main menu.
3. In the list of your instances, navigate to the instance you want to delete.
   You can click the instance list entry to view details.
4. In the context menu of the instance select Delete.
5. In the popup dialogue, enter the name of the instance for confirmation.

Your instance will be displayed for a few seconds with the status Deleting. After that, the instance will be deleted and no longer shown in the list.

Cloud Foundry CLI

1. To use the Cloud Foundry CLI you first need to login into your STACKIT project endpoint. Read Interact with Cloud Foundry to get help logging in.

2. Delete a OpenSearch service with the cf command:

   Parameter	Meaning	Example
   SERVICE_INSTANCE	The name of your service. You can freely choose anything.	my-cf-opensearch-service

   cf delete-service [SERVICE_INSTANCE]

   Example:

   cf delete-service my-cf-opensearch-service

3. Confirm service deletion by enter y.

   This action impacts all resources scoped to this service instance, including service bindings, service keys and route bindings.
   This will remove the service instance from any spaces where it has been shared.
