consul-kv: Delete a key-value pair.
$ consul kv delete ${key}
try on your machine

The command consul kv delete ${key} is used to delete a key-value pair in Consul's Key-Value (KV) store. Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • consul: This is the command-line interface (CLI) tool for interacting with Consul, which is a distributed service mesh and a key-value store.
  • kv: This specifies the command to operate on the key-value store in Consul.
  • delete: This is the specific operation/command to delete a key-value pair from the store.
  • ${key}: This represents the key of the key-value pair that you want to delete. The ${key} is a placeholder, and you should replace it with the actual key you want to delete. For example, if you want to delete a key named "mykey", the command would be: consul kv delete mykey.

By executing this command, you will delete the key-value pair associated with the specified key in Consul's Key-Value store.
