Uninstallation and Cleanup Protegrity Synthetic Data

Steps to uninstall and cleanup Protegrity Synthetic Data

To remove the Synthetic Data service and all associated Kubernetes and AWS resources:

1. Uninstall the Helm release

# Removes all chart resources. PVC data is RETAINED by default (retentionPolicy: whenDeleted=Retain).
helm uninstall synthetic-data -n synthetic-data-ns

# To also delete the database PVC:
kubectl delete pvc -n synthetic-data-ns -l app.kubernetes.io/name=synthetic-data

Optionally, delete the namespace after all resources are deleted:

kubectl delete namespace synthetic-data-ns

2. Destroy OpenTofu infrastructure

# Destroys Karpenter nodes, IAM role, Pod Identity association, and S3 bucket.
tofu destroy -var="cluster_name=<CLUSTER_NAME>"

Note: By default, tofu destroy prompts for confirmation before deleting resources. Add -auto-approve to skip the prompt.
