Deleting an Apache Kafka® cluster

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified in the CLI profile is used by default. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To delete a cluster, run the command:

yc managed-kafka cluster delete <cluster_name_or_ID>

Terraform allows you to quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. Configuration files store the infrastructure description in the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Terraform and its providers are distributed under the Business Source License.

For more information about the provider resources, see the documentation on the Terraform website or the mirror.

If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

If you don't have Terraform, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To delete a cluster created using Terraform:

1. In the command line, go to the folder that houses the current Terraform configuration file with an infrastructure plan.

2. Delete the resources using this command:

   terraform destroy
   

   Alert

   Terraform will delete all the resources you created using it, such as clusters, networks, subnets, and VMs.

3. Type yes and press Enter.

resource "yandex_mdb_kafka_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
  ...
  timeouts {
    create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes
    update = "2h"    # 2 hours
    delete = "30m"   # 30 minutes
  }
}

To delete a cluster, use the delete REST API method for the Cluster resource or the ClusterService/Delete gRPC API call and provide the cluster ID in the clusterId request parameter.

To find out the cluster ID, get a list of clusters in the folder.
