Untethering projects from the control plane

If you remove the service instances and workloads that are running in a tethered project (namespace), you can untether the project from the IBM® Software Hub control plane. When you untether the project from the control plane, IBM Software Hub resources are removed from the project, the control plane no longer monitors the content of the project, and you cannot provision service instances into the project.
