If not planning to use Kiali, then Kiali may be removed for CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) remediation. NOTE: The removal will not persist after a CSM upgrade, so the removal procedure must be rerun after CSM upgrades.
This procedure can be performed on any master node.
Delete kiali and kiali-operator deployments.
kubectl delete deployment kiali -n istio-system
kubectl delete deployment cray-kiali-kiali-operator -n operators
Uninstall cray-kiali chart.
helm uninstall cray-kiali -n operators --keep-history
Remove cray-kiali chart from loftsman-platform ConfigMap.
kubectl get configmap -n loftsman loftsman-platform -o json | jq -r '.data."manifest.yaml"' > platform.yaml
cp platform.yaml platform.yaml.saved
yq d -i platform.yaml 'spec.charts(name=='"cray-kiali"')'
kubectl create configmap -n loftsman loftsman-platform --from-file=manifest.yaml=platform.yaml \
--dry-run=client -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
