I'm trying to provision/deprovision service instance/binding from my cloud provider (IBM cloud private), Currently, there is a bug that if the service is not deprovisioned in ICP, that leaves me the orphan service instance on my ICP environment which I can't delete even with force option. They provide a workaround solution of:
kubectl edit ServiceInstance <service-instance-name>
kubectl edit ServiceBinding <service-binding-name>then delete the line:
...
finalizers:
- kubernetes-incubator/service-catalog
...and the orphan service instance/binding will get deleted properly. I'm wondering how to automate this process with bash cli (live edit + delete line + save + exit) or any alternative way.
kubectl patch is one way. You can also use a jq/kubectl oneliner.
kubectl get ServiceInstance <service-instance-name> -o=json | \
jq '.metadata.finalizers = null' | kubectl apply -f -I'm not sure how this works with the ServiceInstance and ServiceBinding specifically, but you can use kubectl patch to update objects in place. As an example:
kubectl patch ServiceInstance <service-instance-name> -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers":null}}
