Your Environment

I wouldn't recommend doing this manually, it will result in resources being left in the cluster. The operator removes this itself when it has successfully cleaned up after itself - most likely it is failing to clean up one of its resources and thus is waiting before removing the finalizer.

I'd recommend upgrading to v3.28.0 - we fixed a number of issues related to termination in that release, so it's quite possible you're running in to one of those.

We are also facing same issues with Calico 3.27.4. We tried upgrading to Calico 3.28.0, but unfortunately, the issue persists.

Below are the environment details:

Calico versions: v3.27.4 & v3.28.0 Orchestrator version (e.g., Kubernetes, Mesos, rkt): EKS-1.28 Operating System and version: Amazon Linux

@ujjwalsoni1903 @rshiva777 Do you have the Calico API server running? i.e., does this show anything?

kubectl get apiservers.operator.tigera.io

If so, you need to delete that as well in order for the Installation to terminate:

kubectl delete apiserver default

If that's not the problem, could you show the output of the following commands both prior to deleting the Installation as well as after?

kubectl get installation -o yaml
kubectl get apiservers -o yaml
kubectl get tigerastatus -o yaml

As well as the logs from the operator pod after deleting the Installation?

@caseydavenport , Thanks for your reply !!

I have checked after deleting apiserver. Still we need to remove finalizer from the installation object.

please find attached output of below commands:

kubectl get installation -o yaml
kubectl get apiservers -o yaml
kubectl get tigerastatus -o yaml

That all seems reasonable to me.

I think output from after deleting might be helpful, as well as logs from the tigera-operator pod.
