vSphere with Tanzu using NSX-T - Part27 - nullfinalizer kubectl plugin

I have seen many cases where the supervisor namespace gets stuck at Terminating phase waiting on finalization on some of its child resources. This plugin can be used for setting finalizer to null for all objects of a specified api resource under a supervisor namespace. It will be helpful in cleaning up supervisor namespaces stuck terminating phase and can be also used to clean up stale resources under a supervisor namespace.

kubectl-nullfinalizer

#!/bin/bash

Help()
{
   # Display Help
   echo "This plugin sets finalizer to null for specified resource in a namespace."
   echo "Usage: kubectl nullfinalizer SVNAMESPACE RESOURCENAME"
   echo "Example: kubectl nullfinalizer vineetha-svns01 pvc"
}

# Get the options
while getopts ":h" option; do
   case $option in
      h) # display Help
         Help
         exit;;
     \?) # incorrect option
         echo "Error: Invalid option"
         exit;;
   esac
done

kubectl get -n $1 $2 --no-headers | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I{} kubectl patch -n $1 $2 {} -p '{"metadata":{"finalizers": null}}' --type=merge

Usage

  • Place the plugin in the system executable path.
  • I placed it in $HOME/.krew/bin in my laptop.
  • Once you copied the plugin to the proper path, you can make it executable by: chmod 755 kubectl-nullfinalizer .
  • After that you should be able to run the plugin as: kubectl nullfinalizer SUPERVISORNAMESPACE RESOURCENAME .


Example

Following is an exmaple of a supervisor namespace stuck at Terminating phase. While describe you can see that it is waiting on finalization.
