-dcaegen2-services-common.consulDeleteJob:
-This template generates a Kubernetes Job that runs when a
-DCAE microservice is deleted.  The Job deletes the Consul
-entry that contains the microservice's configuration.
-
-The template expects the full chart context as input.  A chart for a
-DCAE microservice references this template using:
-{{ include "dcaegen2-services-common.consulDeleteJob" . }}
-The template directly references data in .Values, and indirectly (through its
-use of templates from the ONAP "common" collection) references data in
-.Release.
-
-The microservice configuration data is loaded into Consul by an
-initContainer that is part of the Kubernetes Deployment for the microservice.
-See the documentation for dcaegen2-services-common.microserviceDeployment
