How manifest deletion works

By default, MicroShift searches for deletion manifests in the delete subdirectories within the manifests path. When a user places a manifest in these subdirectories, MicroShift removes the manifests when the system is started.

Read through the following to understand how manifests deletion works in MicroShift.

  1. Each time the system starts, before applying the manifests, MicroShift scans the following delete subdirectories within the configured manifests directory to identify the manifests that need to be deleted:

    • /usr/lib/microshift/manifests/delete

    • /usr/lib/microshift/manifests.d/delete/*

    • /etc/microshift/manifests/delete

    • /etc/microshift/manifests.d/delete/*

  2. MicroShift deletes the resources defined in the manifests found in the delete directories by running the equivalent of the kubectl delete --ignore-not-found -k command.
