Alauda AI

Uninstall

This document guides you through the complete uninstallation of Alauda AI and its related components from your cluster. The uninstallation process is divided into two main parts: first, uninstalling the optional Alauda AI Model Serving and its instances, and then, uninstalling the core Alauda AI instance and Operator.

If you don't need the Serverless capability or want to use only the essential core features to save resources, you can choose to perform only the first step to remove the Alauda AI Model Serving components.

Note: Before proceeding with the uninstallation, ensure you have backed up all important data and models. The uninstallation process will permanently delete all resources and configurations associated with Alauda AI.

Cleaning Up Remaining Resources

CRDs are not removed automatically when an operator is uninstalled. You can manually clean up these remaining resources, and be aware that:

WARNING

Deleting a CRD will permanently delete all associated data.

The amlnamespaces.manage.aml.dev CRD, which is responsible for managing namespaces, is not included in the deletion commands below. To ensure a complete deletion of resources, you must manually remove the finalizer field after the CRD deletion operation.

It's generally recommended to keep this CRD unless you are certain you no longer need its management capabilities.

# Delete all control plane CRDs
kubectl delete crd amls.components.aml.dev
kubectl delete crd kserves.components.aml.dev
kubectl delete crd amlclusters.amlclusters.aml.dev
kubectl delete crd knativeservings.components.aml.dev
