Removing services

Context

The concept of removing a service two-fold: there is service termination, and there is service deletion. When you terminate a service, Moab stops the service and cleans the service environment; however the Moab does not delete the service ID. This means that when you terminate a service, you are, in essence, doing a soft delete of the service. Service deletion, on the other hand, removes the service entirely so that it no longer exists.

Deleting a service will immediately remove the service without cleaning up the environment.

From the Service Management page, you can remove a service. You can remove individual services, or container services. However, please be aware that any action you take on a container service also affects all the services within the container.

You can terminate services that are in the following service lifecycle phases (for more information, see Service lifecycle phases):

  • Analyzing
  • Blocked
  • Deploying
  • Deployed

You can only delete services that are in the "Terminated" service lifecycle phase.

To terminate a service

  1. Go to the Service Management page (Services > Service Management). For more information, see Fields: Service Management.
  2. Select the service(s) you want to terminate. The service must be in one of the following states:
    • Analyzing
    • Blocked
    • Deploying
    • Deployed

    When you terminate a container service, you also terminate all the services it contains.

  3. Choose Terminate.

    4. When you choose Terminate, a confirmation message appears.

  4. Choose OK, and the services are terminated (meaning they will go into the cleanup and terminated lifecycle phases).

    5. A message appears and tells you that the services were terminated successfully.

To delete a service
