Removing a Database, Node, or Cluster

Use the Actions drop-down menu in the upper-right corner of the pgEdge Starfleet BYOC console to manage databases, nodes, and clusters. The menu options are context-sensitive; the selected action applies to the object currently highlighted in the navigation panel. To access the menu options, highlight the name of the cluster object in the navigation panel, and then open the Actions menu.

Dropping a Node from a Cluster

To access the Remove Nodes dialog, highlight the name of a cluster in the navigation panel and select Remove Nodes from the Actions menu.

When the Remove Nodes dialog opens, click a node on the map or click the X in an availability zone name in the Regions section to remove a node from the specified region. To remove the node and reconfigure the cluster, enter the cluster name in the confirmation field and click Apply Changes.

Removing a Database from a Node

To drop a database from a cluster node, select the name of the database in the navigation panel and open the Actions menu.

Select Remove From Nodes from the Actions menu to open the Remove Database dialog. When the dialog opens, deselect the nodes on the map or from the list of availability zones to indicate which nodes to remove the database from.

After removing the nodes from the Regions list, type the database name in the confirmation pane and click Apply Changes. The database is removed from the node, resulting in the loss of all data on that node; database backups remain available via the API. The remaining cluster nodes are then reconfigured to replicate the database between them.

Deleting a Database

To delete a database, highlight the name of the database in the navigation panel. Open the Actions drop-down in the upper-right corner and select Delete Database from the context menu.

When prompted, enter the database name in the confirmation window and select Delete Database.

Deleting a Cluster

To delete a cluster, select the cluster name in the navigation panel to open the cluster information page. Select the Actions drop-down in the upper-right corner and choose Delete Cluster.

If the cluster contains databases, use the Force Delete slider to confirm that you wish to delete the cluster, and all cluster resources currently deployed; this will remove all databases, DNS records, and CloudWatch alarms.

To delete the cluster, enter the cluster name to confirm and press Delete Cluster (or Force Delete Cluster) to confirm.

BYOC will alert you if you attempt to delete a cluster that still hosts databases without selecting the Force Delete option.
