ECE API examples: Remove unwanted deployment templates and instance configurations

ECE

If you configure the deployment templates in ECE and find that you created instance configurations or deployment templates that you no longer need, you can use these steps to delete them through the RESTful API. Alternatively, you can also use the UI to delete these artifacts.

Make sure that your deployment template is no longer in use by any deployment. You cannot delete system-owned instance configurations or deployment templates.

To remove an instance configuration:

1. List the available instance configurations to find out the ID for the instance configuration you want to delete:

   curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/instances
   

2. Delete the instance configuration using the ID:

   curl -k -X  DELETE -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/instances/INSTANCE_CONFIGURATION_ID
   

   INSTANCE_CONFIGURATION_ID

   The instance configuration ID as returned by the instance_configuration_id field

To remove a deployment template through the RESTful API:

1. List the available deployment templates to find out the ID:

   curl -k -X GET -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/templates/deployments
   

2. Delete the deployment templates using the ID:

   curl -k -X DELETE -H "Authorization: ApiKey $ECE_API_KEY" https://$COORDINATOR_HOST:12443/api/v1/platform/configuration/templates/deployments/DEPLOYMENT_TEMPLATE_ID
   

   DEPLOYMENT_TEMPLATE_ID

   The deployment template ID as returned by the id field
