Helm hook cleanup
In the Helm hook basics section, we noted that Helm hooks, by default, are not removed with the rest of the chart’s resources when the helm uninstall command is invoked. Instead, we must clean up the resources manually. Luckily, several strategies can be employed to automatically remove hooks during a release’s life cycle. These options include configuring a deletion policy and setting a time to live (TTL) on a job.
The helm.sh/hook-delete-policy annotation is used to set a deletion policy on hook resources. This annotation determines when Helm should remove the resources from Kubernetes. The following table highlights the available options. You can find descriptions for these in the Helm documentation at https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts_hooks/#hook-deletion-policies:
