Question

How to delete calico from azure Kubernetes cluster, it got created with tigera operator while creating the cluster.
I tried deleting the namespaces but it somehow got redeployed after sometime.

I need a way to remove it permanently and make my network policy to none from calico.

I understand you want to remove the Calico network policy from your AKS cluster. Please correct me if I am misunderstanding the issue.

At this time, you cannot change or remove a network policy from a cluster once created. You will need to recreate the cluster without the network policy.

Sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know if you need further assistance or have further questions.

Thanks for your reply, is there any way to prevent it from updating my load balancer health probes that is the issue that I am facing my health probes are getting updated automatically and hence downtime.

It sounds like you are manually changing it but the configuration you had specified was not updated. If this is an internal load balancer you can update the internal-lb.yaml file. If external you can update the public-svc.yaml file. More configuration and options are available on the documentation pages. Please check to see if you can update this file and if it resolves your issue.
