Bridge Software Uninstallation

Overview​

This section provides guidance on uninstalling the Bridge software from your infrastructure.

Before Uninstallation​

Before uninstalling Bridge, ensure you have:

  1. Deleted all tenants - Remove all tenants from the system
  2. Exported critical data - Back up any necessary configuration or data
  3. Documented setup - Record current configuration for reference
  4. Notified users - Inform all stakeholders of the uninstallation
  5. Stopped all operations - Ensure no active jobs or services

Uninstallation Process​

  • Provide details about your deployment:
    • Current Bridge version
    • Number of nodes

Important Considerations​

Data Loss​

Infrastructure Impact​

  • Resource Availability - Infrastructure returns to standalone mode

  • Integration Loss - Any integrations with Bridge will be severed
  • Access Control - Bridge-based access controls will be removed

Timeline​

  • Planning - Allow time for data extraction and planning
  • Execution - Uninstallation takes time (exact duration varies)
  • Verification - Post-uninstallation verification may be needed
  • Support - Armada support team manages the entire process

Post-Uninstallation​

After uninstallation:

  1. Verify Removal - Confirm all Bridge components are removed
  2. Cleanup - Remove any remaining Bridge configurations
  3. Infrastructure Check - Verify infrastructure stability
  4. Documentation - Archive all related documentation
  5. Support Closure - Close support tickets related to Bridge

Alternative: Maintenance Mode​

If you need temporary access suspension rather than complete uninstallation:

  • Discuss with Armada support team
  • Pause deployments rather than remove them
  • Maintain configuration for future re-deployment
  • Preserve data and settings
