Workflow: Cluster Uninstall

How to safely remove apps from a running cluster.

Steps

1. Identify dependencies

hydra local refs <cluster> <appId>

Check if other apps depend on this one.

2. Create backup

hydra gitops backup create <appId>

3. Scale down (if applicable)

hydra gitops scale down <appId>

4. Uninstall

hydra gitops uninstall <appId>

5. Verify removal

hydra gitops untracked <cluster>

Check no orphaned resources remain.

Safety Checklist

• [ ] No other apps reference resources from this app
• [ ] Backup created for secrets/certs
• [ ] PVCs reviewed (uninstall does not delete PVCs by default)
• [ ] DNS records cleaned up if relevant
