Turning Off JupyterHub and Computational Resources

When you are done with your hub, you should delete it so you are no longer paying money for it.

1. First, delete the namespace the hub was installed in. This deletes any disks that may have been created to store user’s data, and any IP addresses that may have been provisioned.

   kubectl delete namespace <your-namespace>
   

2. Next, you should delete the kubernetes cluster. You can list all the clusters you have.

   gcloud container clusters list
   

   You can then delete the one you want.

   gcloud container clusters delete <CLUSTER-NAME> --zone=<CLUSTER-ZONE>
   

3. Double check to make sure all the resources are now deleted, since anything you have not deleted will cost you money! You can check the web console (make sure you are in the right project and account!) to make sure everything has been deleted.

   At a minimum, check the following under the Hamburger (left top corner) menu:

   1. Compute Engine -> Disks

   2. Container Engine

   3. Networking -> Load Balancing

   These might take several minutes to clear up, but they shouldn’t have anything related to your JupyterHub cluster after you have deleted the cluster.
