Uninstall Icebreaker

This walks through undoing the Get Started flow, in reverse order, so you can run through the install again from a clean state — useful when testing the install docs themselves, or re-evaluating with a different configuration.

Reverse of Set up a Data Server — the Icebreaker Agent tears down the matching cluster resources (Deployments, NodePools) as soon as you delete each one in the console:

  1. Navigate to your Icebreaker Agent in the Admin console.
  2. Under Data Servers, delete the Data Server(s) you created.
  3. Under Compute Specs, delete the Capacity Policy(ies) you created.
  4. Back at the Account level, under Data Catalogs, delete the Data Catalog entry.
  5. From the Icebreaker Agents list, click Delete next to the Agent to remove its record and token from the control plane. This doesn’t touch anything already running in your cluster — the next steps handle that.

Reverse of Install the Icebreaker Agent:

Terminal window
helm uninstall icebreaker-agent --namespace eyrie-compute
Terminal window
kubectl delete secret icebreaker-agent-token -n eyrie-compute

4. Delete the workload namespace (optional)

Section titled “4. Delete the workload namespace (optional)”
Terminal window
kubectl delete namespace eyrie-compute

5. Remove the Lakekeeper evaluation deployment (optional)

Section titled “5. Remove the Lakekeeper evaluation deployment (optional)”

If you deployed Lakekeeper via Evaluate Icebreaker with Lakekeeper and want to reset that too:

Terminal window
helm uninstall icebreaker-lakekeeper --namespace lakekeeper
kubectl delete namespace lakekeeper

This does not delete the S3 bucket, IAM role/policies, or warehouse data you set up for Lakekeeper — remove those separately if you want a fully clean AWS account.

  • No Icebreaker Agent is running in your cluster, and its record in the Admin console is deleted (or shows as not connected, if you skipped that step).
  • Your EKS cluster and its prerequisites (Karpenter, ingress controller, ACM certificate, DNS) are untouched and ready for a fresh install.

Start over from Install the Icebreaker Agent.
