rds_delete_db_cluster: The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster

Description

The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster. When you delete a DB cluster, all automated backups for that DB cluster are deleted and can't be recovered. Manual DB cluster snapshots of the specified DB cluster are not deleted.

Usage

rds_delete_db_cluster(DBClusterIdentifier, SkipFinalSnapshot,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier)

Arguments

DBClusterIdentifier

[required] The DB cluster identifier for the DB cluster to be deleted. This parameter isn't case-sensitive.

Constraints:

Must match an existing DBClusterIdentifier.

SkipFinalSnapshot

A value that indicates whether to skip the creation of a final DB cluster snapshot before the DB cluster is deleted. If skip is specified, no DB cluster snapshot is created. If skip is not specified, a DB cluster snapshot is created before the DB cluster is deleted. By default, skip is not specified, and the DB cluster snapshot is created. By default, this parameter is disabled.

You must specify a FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier parameter if SkipFinalSnapshot is disabled.

FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier

The DB cluster snapshot identifier of the new DB cluster snapshot created when SkipFinalSnapshot is disabled.

Specifying this parameter and also skipping the creation of a final DB cluster snapshot with the SkipFinalShapshot parameter results in an error.

Constraints:

Must be 1 to 255 letters, numbers, or hyphens.
First character must be a letter
Can't end with a hyphen or contain two consecutive hyphens

Request syntax

svc$delete_db_cluster(
  DBClusterIdentifier = "string",
  SkipFinalSnapshot = TRUE|FALSE,
  FinalDBSnapshotIdentifier = "string"
)
