Deleting a Variable

Deployment Manager

Delete a variable that is part of a deployment using one of the following methods:

• Update the deployment to omit the variable and redeploy the deployment.
• Delete the deployment and the resources it contains .

gcloud

To delete a variable with the Google Cloud CLI, use the runtime-config configs variables delete command:

  gcloud 
  
 beta 
  
 runtime 
 - 
 config 
  
 configs 
  
 variables 
  
 unset 
  
 [ 
 VARIABLE_KEY 
 ] 
  
 --config-name [CONFIG_NAME] 
 

where [VARIABLE_KEY] is the key of the variable and [CONFIG_NAME] is the name of the config this variable belongs to.

If you want to recursively delete all variables under a certain path, provide the --recursive flag.

The gcloud CLI returns a response like:

Deleted [https://runtimeconfig.googleapis.com/v1beta1/projects/[PROJECT_ID]/configs/[CONFIG_NAME]/variables/[VARIABLE_KEY].

API

In the REST API, make a DELETE request to the following URI to delete a new variable:

  https 
 : 
 // 
 runtimeconfig 
 . 
 googleapis 
 . 
 com 
 / 
 v1beta1 
 / 
 projects 
 /[ 
 PROJECT_ID 
 ]/ 
 configs 
 /[ 
 CONFIG_NAME 
 ]/ 
 variables 
 /[ 
 VARIABLE_KEY 
 ] 
 

where:

• [PROJECT_ID] is the project ID for this request.
• [CONFIG_NAME] is the name for this configuration.

• [VARIABLE_KEY] is the variable to delete.

  If you want to recursively delete all variables under a specific pass, provide a payload with your request that has the recursive property set to true :

  { "recursive": true }

  If successful, the API returns an empty response.

  To learn more about the method, read the variables().delete documentation.
