others-How to solve 'namespace stuck in terminating when delete' problem in kubernetes
1. The purpose of this post
Sometimes, when you delete a resource like namespace in kubernetes, you would find that the resource can not be deleted, it’s stuck in terminating state.
2. Environments
- docker 19
- kubernetes 1.17
3. The solution
There must be some resource that is stuck and still reference the namespace, so , check them out:
kubectl api-resources --namespaced=true -o name | xargs -n 1 kubectl get --show-kind --ignore-not-found -n <the_namespace>
Replace the_namespace with the real namespace name.
And then delete the resources like this:
k delete <resource_type> <resource_id> --force --grace-period=0 -n <the_namespace>
And finally delete the namespace:
k delete namespace <the_namespace>
Now everything works fine.
