Keeping Your Clusters and Data
Deleting Altinity’s access to your environment without disturbing your clusters and data
Altinity takes the phrase “No vendor lock-in” seriously. You can permanently delete Altinity’s access to your ClickHouse® clusters without deleting your ClickHouse clusters and their data. In other words, you can delete the Altinity.Cloud environment entirely but keep your ClickHouse clusters running. No downtime, no moving your data; everything is in your under your control, whether it’s in your cloud (BYOC) or your Kubernetes environment (BYOK).
As you would expect, there are some things that need to happen to make sure everything goes smoothly.
For example, when you delete an Altinity.Cloud environment, the DNS records Altinity.Cloud created for you are deleted. Your ClickHouse clusters will still be running, but you (and your applications) won’t have access to them via those DNS records anymore. You’ll need to define an alternate endpoint before deleting the Altinity.Cloud environment so that you can still access your undisturbed ClickHouse clusters. There are other complications such as configuring certificate authorities and load balancers; those are covered in this section as well.
Your ClickHouse clusters and data stay in your cloud account or Kubernetes environment. Contact Altinity support as you go through the process and we’ll make sure that everything goes smoothly.
