Deleting a Cluster¶
If you do not need to use a cluster, perform the operations in this section to delete it.
Impact on the System¶
Deleted clusters cannot be recovered. Additionally, you cannot access user data and automated snapshots in a deleted cluster because the data and snapshots are automatically deleted. If you delete a cluster, its manual snapshots will not be deleted.
Deleting a Cluster¶
Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console to select a region.
On the Clusters > Dedicated Clusters page, locate the cluster to be deleted.
In the row of a cluster, choose More > Delete.
In the displayed dialog box, confirm the deletion. You can determine whether to perform the following operations:
Create a snapshot for the cluster.
If the cluster status is normal, you can click Create Snapshot. In the dialog box that is displayed, enter the snapshot name and click OK to create a snapshot for the cluster to be deleted. In the row of a cluster, choose More > Delete.
Resource
Release the EIP bound to the cluster.
If an EIP is bound to the cluster, you are advised to select EIP to release the EIP.
Automated Snapshots
Manual Snapshots
If you have created a manual snapshot, you can select Manual Snapshot to delete it.
After confirming that the information is correct, enter DELETE or click Auto Enter and click OK to delete the cluster. The cluster status in the cluster list will change to Deleting, and the cluster deletion progress will be displayed.
If the cluster to be deleted uses an automatically created security group that is not used by other clusters, the security group is automatically deleted when the cluster is deleted.
