Uninstall Kerno

Learn how to uninstall Kerno.

Follow these steps to uninstall a cluster from Kerno.

If you installed Kerno in K8s-only mode, follow the uninstall steps for Docker or for the YAML manifest, depending on your setup.

1. Navigate to the Installation Section

• In the Kerno dashboard, click on Settings (bottom-left corner).

• Select Installation from the left-hand menu.

2. Select the Cluster to Uninstall

• Under Installations Details, locate the cluster you want to remove.

• Click on Uninstall Cluster.

3. Generate the Uninstallation Script

• Choose the cluster from the dropdown menu in the Uninstall a Cluster window.

• Optionally, provide a reason for uninstalling.

• Click Generate Uninstallation Script.

4. Execute the Uninstallation Command

Option 1: Using SSO Profile

• Select the SSO Profile tab.

• Fill in the required details:

  • AWS Cluster Name

  • Region

  • AWS Profile

• Copy the generated command

• Open your terminal and execute the copied command.

---

Option 2: Using Environment Variables

• Select the Environment Variables tab.

• Fill in the required details:

  • AWS Cluster Name

  • Region

  • AWS Access Credentials

• Copy the generated command

• Open your terminal and execute the copied command.
