DeleteCluster

Deletes an Amazon EKS cluster control plane.

If you have active services in your cluster that are associated with a load balancer, you must delete those services before deleting the cluster so that the load balancers are deleted properly. Otherwise, you can have orphaned resources in your VPC that prevent you from being able to delete the VPC. For more information, see Deleting a cluster in the Amazon EKS User Guide.

If you have managed node groups or Fargate profiles attached to the cluster, you must delete them first. For more information, see DeleteNodgroup and DeleteFargateProfile.

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

ClientException

These errors are usually caused by a client action. Actions can include using an action or resource on behalf of an IAM principal that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource or specifying an identifier that is not valid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ResourceInUseException

The specified resource is in use.

HTTP Status Code: 409

ResourceNotFoundException

The specified resource could not be found. You can view your available clusters with ListClusters. You can view your available managed node groups with ListNodegroups. Amazon EKS clusters and node groups are AWS Region specific.

HTTP Status Code: 404

ServerException

These errors are usually caused by a server-side issue.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ServiceUnavailableException

The service is unavailable. Back off and retry the operation.

HTTP Status Code: 503

Examples

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon EKS General Reference.

You need to learn how to sign HTTP requests only if you intend to manually create them. When you use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or one of the AWS SDKs to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.

Example

The following example deletes a cluster called my-cluster.
