Deletes a custom key store. This operation does not delete the AWS CloudHSM cluster that is associated with the custom key store, or affect any users or keys in the cluster.
The custom key store that you delete cannot contain any AWS KMS
customer master keys (CMKs).
Before deleting the key store, verify that you will never need to use
any of the CMKs in the key store for any cryptographic operations.
Then, use schedule_key_deletion
to delete
the AWS KMS customer master keys (CMKs) from the key store. When the
scheduled waiting period expires, the
schedule_key_deletion
operation deletes
the CMKs. Then it makes a best effort to delete the key material from
the associated cluster. However, you might need to manually delete the orphaned key material
from the cluster and its backups.
After all CMKs are deleted from AWS KMS, use
disconnect_custom_key_store
to
disconnect the key store from AWS KMS. Then, you can delete the custom
key store.
Instead of deleting the custom key store, consider using
disconnect_custom_key_store
to
disconnect it from AWS KMS. While the key store is disconnected, you
cannot create or use the CMKs in the key store. But, you do not need to
delete CMKs and you can reconnect a disconnected custom key store at any
time.
If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.
This operation is part of the Custom Key Store feature feature in AWS KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of AWS KMS with the isolation and control of a single-tenant key store.
Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a custom key store in a different AWS account.
