Deleting a GPU cluster

Written by

Updated at July 20, 2026

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

Management console
CLI
Terraform
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing the GPU cluster.
  2. Navigate to Compute Cloud.
  3. In the left-hand panel, select  GPU clusters.
  4. Next to the GPU cluster, click and select  Delete.
  5. Confirm the deletion.

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

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

  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 the ID or NAME of the GPU cluster, 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 the Yandex Cloud provider.

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

  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, navigate to the configuration file directory.

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

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:

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

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.

    4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

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

yc compute gpu-cluster list

To delete a GPU cluster, use the delete REST API method for the GpuCluster resource or the GpuClusterService/Delete gRPC API call.
