Attach and detach
You can transfer an Edgelet node from one ECN to another by detaching it and attaching it elsewhere.
Detach stops workloads
Detaching an Edgelet node removes its Controller connection. Microservices on that node are shut down.
Detach from the current namespace:
potctl detach agent zebra-1 -n factory-a
List detached resources:
potctl get all --detached
Attach to another namespace or ECN:
potctl attach agent zebra-1 -n factory-b
Move between namespaces in one step:
potctl move agent zebra-1 factory-b -n factory-a
Delete vs detach
Use delete agent to remove the node from the Controller and run uninstall scripts on the host (unless you customized teardown).
Use detach agent when you want to keep Edgelet installed on the host but deprovision it from the current ECN.
