Delete hanging backup

Get Help
1

I am slowly upgrading all the AWX deployments in my company.

Basically what I’m doing is:

  • Save all secrets from the old deployment
  • Delete old namespace
  • Redeploy using my own yamls

This works great, but for one environment I run into a problem doing step 2: Deleting the old namespace. The namespace stays in ‘terminating’ status.
When searching for reasons I found out that there’s an AWXBackup object that can’t be deleted.

How can I check the log of the backup to see what the problem is? My guess is that it’s trying to backup to a directory that does not exist (anymore?).

I found kubectl delete stuck - what to do and why this happen| Devops Junction which says ‘Just delete the finalizers’, but I’m hesitant to do that. kubectl describe awxbackup 'mybackup' -n myns doesn’t show any errors or events, and kubectl logs awxbackup/mybackup -n myns says error: no kind "AWXBackup" is registered for version "awx.ansible.com/v1beta1" in scheme "pkg/scheme/scheme.go:28", probably because the backup type is namespace bound.

I’ve decided to just delete the finalizers in the backup object, and the namespace is gone now. It’s a test environment anyway.
