Deleting a GPU cluster

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at May 5, 2025

Before deleting a GPU cluster, make sure to delete all its VMs.

CLI
Terraform

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for deleting a GPU cluster :

    yc compute gpu-cluster delete --help
    
  2. Get a list of GPU clusters in the default folder:

    yc compute gpu-cluster list
    
  3. Select ID or NAME of the GPU cluster in question, e.g., first-gpu-cluster.

  4. Delete the GPU cluster:

    yc compute gpu-cluster delete first-gpu-cluster
    

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

  1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section specifying the GPU cluster:

    Example of specifying a GPU cluster in Terraform configuration
    ...
    resource "yandex_compute_gpu_cluster" "default" {
      name               = "gpu-cluster-name"
      interconnect_type  = "infiniband"
      zone               = "ru-central1-a"
    
      labels = {
        environment = "test"
      }
    }
    ...
    
  2. Apply the changes:

    1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the GPU cluster deletion using the management console or this CLI command:

yc compute gpu-cluster list
