Deletion options¶

Deletion options determine the configuration used by Chainsaw for deleting resources.

Supported elements¶

Element	Default	Description
`propagation`	`Background`	Propagation decides if a deletion will propagate to the dependents of the object, and how the garbage collector will handle the propagation.

Propagation¶

This element will affect Kubernetes cascading deletion. Supported values are Orphan, Background and Foreground.

Tip

Setting Orphan is probably never a good idea because it would leak resources in the test cluster. Chainsaw uses Background as its default value which is a reasonable choice.

Note that Foreground can be useful to fail when the dependent resources fail to delete.

Configuration¶
