Overview

This node operation deletes a specific cluster from a project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for managing and cleaning up clusters associated with projects, especially when clusters are no longer needed or need to be removed for security or organizational reasons. For example, a DevOps engineer might use this node to automate the removal of outdated or unused Kubernetes clusters linked to GitLab projects.

Use Case Examples

  1. Deleting a cluster from a project by specifying the project ID and cluster ID to keep the project environment clean.
  2. Automating cluster management by integrating this node in workflows that remove clusters after certain conditions are met, such as project archiving or cluster deprecation.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and cluster ID are correct and exist in GitLab to avoid 404 errors.
  • Check that the API key has sufficient permissions to delete clusters in the specified project to avoid authorization errors.
  • Verify the base URL is correct if using a self-hosted GitLab instance to avoid connection errors.
