You can delete an Sharded PostgreSQL cluster if you no longer need it.

Deleting a clusterDeleting a cluster

Before deleting a cluster, disable its deletion protection if it is enabled.

Management console
REST API
gRPC API
  1. In the management console, select the folder where you want to delete a cluster.
  2. Navigate to Yandex Managed Service for Sharded PostgreSQL.
  3. Click for the cluster in question and select Delete.
  4. In the window that opens, confirm the deletion and click Delete.
  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Use the Cluster.Delete method and send the following request, e.g., via cURL:

    curl \
      --request DELETE \
      --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
      --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-spqr/v1/clusters/<cluster_ID>'
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  3. View the server response to make sure your request was successful.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it into an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Call the ClusterService.Delete method, e.g., via the following gRPCurl request:

    grpcurl \
      -format json \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
      -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/spqr/v1/cluster_service.proto \
      -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      -d '{
            "cluster_id": <cluster_ID>
          }' \
      mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
      yandex.cloud.mdb.spqr.v1.ClusterService.Delete
    

    You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

  4. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.
