DeleteCluster
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 andDeleteFargateProfile.

Example
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 AWS 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
preview
.
