delete-cluster¶

Description¶

Deletes the 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 DeleteNodegroup and DeleteFargateProfile .

Options¶

--name (string)

The name of the cluster to delete.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To delete a cluster

This example command deletes a cluster named devel in your default region.

The name of the cluster.

arn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster.

createdAt -> (timestamp)

The Unix epoch timestamp in seconds for when the cluster was created.

version -> (string)

The Kubernetes server version for the cluster.

endpoint -> (string)

The endpoint for your Kubernetes API server.

roleArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role that provides permissions for the Kubernetes control plane to make calls to Amazon Web Services API operations on your behalf.

resourcesVpcConfig -> (structure)

The VPC configuration used by the cluster control plane. Amazon EKS VPC resources have specific requirements to work properly with Kubernetes. For more information, see Cluster VPC Considerations and Cluster Security Group Considerations in the Amazon EKS User Guide .

subnetIds -> (list)

The subnets associated with your cluster.

(string)

securityGroupIds -> (list)

The security groups associated with the cross-account elastic network interfaces that are used to allow communication between your nodes and the Kubernetes control plane.

(string)

clusterSecurityGroupId -> (string)

The cluster security group that was created by Amazon EKS for the cluster. Managed node groups use this security group for control-plane-to-data-plane communication.

vpcId -> (string)

The VPC associated with your cluster.

endpointPublicAccess -> (boolean)

This parameter indicates whether the Amazon EKS public API server endpoint is enabled. If the Amazon EKS public API server endpoint is disabled, your cluster’s Kubernetes API server can only receive requests that originate from within the cluster VPC.

endpointPrivateAccess -> (boolean)

This parameter indicates whether the Amazon EKS private API server endpoint is enabled. If the Amazon EKS private API server endpoint is enabled, Kubernetes API requests that originate from within your cluster’s VPC use the private VPC endpoint instead of traversing the internet. If this value is disabled and you have nodes or Fargate pods in the cluster, then ensure that publicAccessCidrs includes the necessary CIDR blocks for communication with the nodes or Fargate pods. For more information, see Amazon EKS cluster endpoint access control in the * Amazon EKS User Guide * .

publicAccessCidrs -> (list)

The CIDR blocks that are allowed access to your cluster’s public Kubernetes API server endpoint. Communication to the endpoint from addresses outside of the listed CIDR blocks is denied. The default value is 0.0.0.0/0 . If you’ve disabled private endpoint access and you have nodes or Fargate pods in the cluster, then ensure that the necessary CIDR blocks are listed. For more information, see Amazon EKS cluster endpoint access control in the * Amazon EKS User Guide * .

(string)

kubernetesNetworkConfig -> (structure)

The Kubernetes network configuration for the cluster.

serviceIpv4Cidr -> (string)

The CIDR block that Kubernetes pod and service IP addresses are assigned from. Kubernetes assigns addresses from an IPv4 CIDR block assigned to a subnet that the node is in. If you didn’t specify a CIDR block when you created the cluster, then Kubernetes assigns addresses from either the 10.100.0.0/16 or 172.20.0.0/16 CIDR blocks. If this was specified, then it was specified when the cluster was created and it can’t be changed.

serviceIpv6Cidr -> (string)

The CIDR block that Kubernetes pod and service IP addresses are assigned from if you created a 1.21 or later cluster with version 1.10.1 or later of the Amazon VPC CNI add-on and specified ipv6 for ipFamily when you created the cluster. Kubernetes assigns service addresses from the unique local address range (fc00::/7 ) because you can’t specify a custom IPv6 CIDR block when you create the cluster.

ipFamily -> (string)

The IP family used to assign Kubernetes pod and service IP addresses. The IP family is always ipv4 , unless you have a 1.21 or later cluster running version 1.10.1 or later of the Amazon VPC CNI add-on and specified ipv6 when you created the cluster.

logging -> (structure)

The logging configuration for your cluster.

clusterLogging -> (list)

enabled -> (boolean)

If a log type is enabled, that log type exports its control plane logs to CloudWatch Logs. If a log type isn’t enabled, that log type doesn’t export its control plane logs. Each individual log type can be enabled or disabled independently.

identity -> (structure)

The identity provider information for the cluster.

oidc -> (structure)

An object representing the OpenID Connect identity provider information.

issuer -> (string)
