delete_cache_cluster

ElastiCache.Client.delete_cache_cluster(**kwargs)

Deletes a previously provisioned cluster. DeleteCacheCluster deletes all associated cache nodes, node endpoints and the cluster itself. When you receive a successful response from this operation, Amazon ElastiCache immediately begins deleting the cluster; you cannot cancel or revert this operation.

This operation is not valid for:

• Redis (cluster mode enabled) clusters

• Redis (cluster mode disabled) clusters

• A cluster that is the last read replica of a replication group

• A cluster that is the primary node of a replication group

• A node group (shard) that has Multi-AZ mode enabled

• A cluster from a Redis (cluster mode enabled) replication group

• A cluster that is not in the available state

Request Syntax

response = client.delete_cache_cluster(
    CacheClusterId='string',
    FinalSnapshotIdentifier='string'
)

Parameters:

• CacheClusterId (string) –

  [REQUIRED]

  The cluster identifier for the cluster to be deleted. This parameter is not case sensitive.

• FinalSnapshotIdentifier (string) – The user-supplied name of a final cluster snapshot. This is the unique name that identifies the snapshot. ElastiCache creates the snapshot, and then deletes the cluster immediately afterward.

Return type:

dict

Returns:
