Deleting a DB shard group - Amazon Aurora

Deleting a DB shard group

You can delete a DB shard group if necessary. Deleting the DB shard group deletes the compute nodes (shards and routers), but not the storage.

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/rds/.

  1. Navigate to the Databases page.

  2. Select the DB shard group that you want to delete.

  3. For Actions, choose Delete.

  4. Enter delete me in the box, then choose Delete.

The DB shard group is deleted.

To delete your DB shard group, use the delete-db-shard-group AWS CLI command with the following parameter:

  • --db-shard-group-identifier – The name of the DB shard group.

The following example deletes a DB shard group in the Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster that you created previously.

aws rds delete-db-shard-group --db-shard-group-identifier my-db-shard-group
