Delete prefix and its supporting resources in OCI

Users can delete an existing prefix if they are not using it anymore to ensure no prefix-specific residual resources or components remain and to avoid naming conflicts in future executions. This is also beneficial for users who want to re-run createTenancyConfig.py with the same prefix after an unsuccessful execution.


Resources created with createTenancyConfig.py execution

When executing createTenancyConfig.py during Connect Container to OCI, the below components are created:

  • Config files under /cd3user/tenancies/<prefix> folder

Additional Resources created with Jenkins

When using Jenkins, the following additional components are created:

  • Jenkins files under /cd3user/tenancies/jenkins_home folder. The prefix configurations are added to jenkins.properties and git_config files.
  • OCI Devops Project and repository named <prefix>-automation-toolkit-project to store terraform files
  • OCI Topic needed for Devops Project named <prefix>-automation-toolkit-topic
  • OCI bucket named <prefix>-automation-toolkit-bucket to store terraform state file.
  • Customer Secret Key for the user specified in tenancyconfig.properties file. This is used as S3 credential for the bucket storing remote state.


Steps to Delete the above prefix-specific Resources

Step 1 - Login (Exec) into the Container:

Step 2 - Navigate to user-scripts folder:

cd /cd3user/oci_tools/cd3_automation_toolkit/user-scripts/

Step 3 - Run the Deletion Script:

python deleteTenancyConfig.py tenancyconfig_<prefix>.properties

This script will remove:

  • OCI Devops Project and Repository
  • OCI Topic
  • OCI Bucket
  • Customer Secret Key for the user
  • Prefix configuration from jenkins.properties and git_config files under /cd3user/tenancies/jenkins_home folder
  • /cd3user/tenancies/jenkins_home/jobs/ folder
  • /cd3user/tenancies/<prefix> folder

Step 4 - Restart Jenkins:

This will remove the prefix from Jenkins Dashboard.

  • Command to get Jenkins process id:
ps -ef | grep jenkins
  • Command to kill process:
kill -9 <process_id>
  • Start Jenkins using:
/usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.sh &
