elasticache_delete_replication_group: Deletes an existing replication group

Description

Deletes an existing replication group. By default, this operation deletes the entire replication group, including the primary/primaries and all of the read replicas. If the replication group has only one primary, you can optionally delete only the read replicas, while retaining the primary by setting RetainPrimaryCluster=true.

Usage

elasticache_delete_replication_group(ReplicationGroupId,
  RetainPrimaryCluster, FinalSnapshotIdentifier)

Arguments

ReplicationGroupId

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

RetainPrimaryCluster

If set to true, all of the read replicas are deleted, but the primary node is retained.

FinalSnapshotIdentifier

The name of a final node group (shard) snapshot. ElastiCache creates the snapshot from the primary node in the cluster, rather than one of the replicas; this is to ensure that it captures the freshest data. After the final snapshot is taken, the replication group is immediately deleted.

Request syntax

svc$delete_replication_group(
  ReplicationGroupId = "string",
  RetainPrimaryCluster = TRUE|FALSE,
  FinalSnapshotIdentifier = "string"
)

Details

When you receive a successful response from this operation, Amazon ElastiCache immediately begins deleting the selected resources; you cannot cancel or revert this operation.

This operation is valid for Redis only.
