# If Karpenter is installed, wait for its NodeClaims to scale down before continuing.
kubectl wait --for=delete nodeclaims --all --timeout=30m

# Optional and irreversible: delete database PVC data.
kubectl delete pvc -n synthetic-data -l app.kubernetes.io/name=synthetic-data

# AWS: pass the same required variables used for apply.
tofu destroy \
