Deleting a 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>

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

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

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.
