Deleting an AWS CloudHSM cluster - AWS CloudHSM

Deleting an AWS CloudHSM cluster

Before you can delete a cluster, you must remove all HSMs from the cluster. For more information, see Removing an HSM.

After you remove all HSMs, you can delete a cluster by using the AWS CloudHSM console, the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI), or the AWS CloudHSM API.

To delete a cluster (console)

  1. Open the AWS CloudHSM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudhsm/home.

  2. Choose the cluster that you are deleting. Then choose Delete cluster.

  3. Confirm that you want to delete the cluster, then choose Delete.

To delete a cluster (CLI)

  • At a command prompt, issue the delete-cluster command, passing the ID of the cluster that you are deleting. If you don't know the cluster ID, issue the describe-clusters command.

    $ aws cloudhsmv2 delete-cluster --cluster-id <cluster ID>
