A Platform Engineer is attempting to delete an attached cluster from the NKP UI, but...

When an attached cluster (e.g., an external cluster like EKS) is stuck in a 'deleting' state in the NKP UI, it indicates an issue with the reconciliation process in the NKP management cluster. The NKPA course explains that attached clusters are represented in NKP as KommanderCluster custom resources in the management cluster. To resolve a stuck deletion, the engineer must manually delete the KommanderCluster resource using kubectl in the context of the NKP management cluster.

The correct command iskubectl delete kommandercluster, executed in the context of the NKP management cluster (not the attached cluster). For example: kubectl delete kommandercluster -n . The Nutanix Cloud Native (NCP-CN) 6.10 Study Guide states: “If an attached cluster is stuck in a ‘deleting’ state, delete the corresponding KommanderCluster resource in the NKP management cluster using kubectl delete kommandercluster to remove it from management.” This ensures the cluster is fully detached and removed from the UI.

Incorrect Options:

A. kubectl delete cluster: There is no cluster resource type in this context; the correct resource is kommandercluster.

B. nkp delete kommandercluster: The nkp CLI does not have a delete kommandercluster subcommand.

D. nkp delete cluster in the attached cluster: This command is for deleting NKP-managed clusters, not detaching external clusters, and it should be run from the management cluster context.
