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.

    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:

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.
