Delete Fluid containers in Azure Fluid Relay

Article
09/19/2022

In this scenario, we will be deleting an existing Fluid container. Once a container is deleted, applications referencing the container will no longer be able to access the container or its data.

Requirements to delete a Fluid container

To get started, you need to install Azure CLI. If you already have Azure CLI installed, please ensure your version is 2.0.67 or greater by running az version.
In order to delete a Fluid container, you must ensure that your application and its clients have been disconnected from the container for more than 10 minutes.

List the containers within a Fluid Relay resource

To see all of the containers belonging to your Fluid Relay resource, you can run the following command:

az rest --method get --uri https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourcegroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.FluidRelay/FluidRelayServers/<frsResourceName>/FluidRelayContainers?api-version=<apiVersion>

subscriptionId: ID of Azure subscription your Fluid Relay resource belongs to.

resourceGroupName: Name of the resource group your Fluid Relay resource is in.

frsResourceName: Name of your Fluid Relay resource. Note that this is different from the tenantId of the Fluid Relay resource.

apiVersion: API Version of resource provider. Minimum supported version is 2022-06-01.

Sample output

The output will contain a list of containers belonging to your Fluid Relay resource and their properties.

{
  "value": [
    {
      "id": "/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourceGroups/<resourceGroupname>/providers/Microsoft.FluidRelay/fluidRelayServers/<frsResourcename>/fluidRelayContainers/<containerId>",
      "name": "<containerId>",
      "properties": {
        "frsContainerId": "<containerId>",
        "frsTenantId": "<frsResourceTenantId>"
      },
      "resourceGroup": "<resourceGroupname>",
      "type": "Microsoft.FluidRelay/fluidRelayServers/fluidRelayContainers"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

Delete an existing container

To delete a container, you need to identify the containerId of the container from the output above and run the follow command:

az rest --method delete --uri https://management.azure.com/subscriptions/<subscriptionId>/resourcegroups/<resourceGroupName>/providers/Microsoft.FluidRelay/FluidRelayServers/<frsResourceName>/FluidRelayContainers/<frsContainerId>?api-version=<api-version>

frsContainerId: ID of Fluid container to be deleted.
