Resource Protection

The Control Plane platform will prevent the deletion of resources with the cpln/protected tag set to true.

This mechanism gives you an added layer of protection against accidental deletion of critical resources such as workloads, secrets, etc.

To delete a resource with a cpln/protected tag set to true, change the value from true or remove the tag. Only then will the platform allow you to proceed with the deletion.

Using the Console UI

• Add Tag

  From nearly any resource within the Console UI, follow these steps to add the protected tag:

  1. Click the Tags link.

  2. Click the Add button.

  3. In the blank row that was added:

     • Enter cpln/protected for the Key.
     • Enter true for the Value.

  4. Click Save.

• Remove Tag

  From nearly any resource within the Console UI, follow these steps to remove the protected tag:

  1. Click the Tags link.
  2. Click the Remove link corresponding to the row that contains the cpln/protected tag.
  3. Click Save.

Using the CLI

Nearly every CLI command has the tag subcommand.

Follow the examples below that target a workload to add and remove the cpln/protected tag. Substitute workload with the target resource.

• Add tag

copy
cpln workload tag WORKLOAD_NAME --tag cpln/protected=true --gvc GVC_NAME --org ORG_NAME

• Remove Tag

copy
cpln workload tag WORKLOAD_NAME --remove cpln/protected --gvc GVC_NAME --org ORG_NAME
