11. Cleanup

Estimated time: 4 min remaining

Time for some cleaning of the resources used (to save on cost and to be a good cloud citizen).

To delete the dervice, we need to get the service name first:

$ kubectl get service
NAME                       CLUSTER-IP    EXTERNAL-IP       PORT(S)    AGE
hello-node-2142604176-x8   10.124.132.1   123.132.123.151   8080/TCP   1h

Then we can delete the service, which also deletes your external load balancer:

$ kubectl delete services hello-node-2142604176-x8
service "hello-node-2142604176-x8" deleted

Delete the running pods:

$ kubectl delete rc hello-node

Delete your cluster:

$ gcloud container clusters delete hello-node
   Waiting for cluster deletion...done.
   name: operation-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
   operationType: deleteCluster
   status: done
   target: /projects/kubernetes-codelab/zones/us-central1-f/clusters/hello-world
   zone: us-central1-f

This deletes the Google Compute Engine instances that are running the cluster.

Finally delete the Docker registry storage bucket hosting your image(s):

$ gsutil ls
gs://artifacts.<PROJECT_ID>.appspot.com/
$ gsutil rm -r gs://artifacts.<PROJECT_ID>.appspot.com/
Removing gs://artifacts.<PROJECT_ID>.appspot.com/...

Of course, you can also delete the entire project but note that you must first disable billing on the project. Additionally, deleting a project will only happen after the current billing cycle ends.
