Decommission Cache Cluster

with Amazon ElastiCache · IT Infrastructure Management

Take a final snapshot, delete a cache cluster, and confirm removal.

  1. Describe the cluster to confirm it exists before deleting it. The CacheClusterId query parameter scopes the description to the single target cluster.
  2. Submit a DeleteCacheCluster request that names a FinalSnapshotIdentifier so a final snapshot is captured before the cluster is torn down. The cluster identifier and snapshot name travel in the form-encoded body.
  3. Describe the cluster again to confirm the deletion is in progress or complete. The CacheClusterId query parameter scopes the description to the cluster being removed.
What you'll need to have ready
  • CacheClusterId: The identifier of the cluster to delete.
  • FinalSnapshotIdentifier: The name to give the final snapshot taken before deletion.
