gcloud alpha container clusters delete

NAME
gcloud alpha container clusters delete - delete an existing cluster for running containers
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha container clusters delete NAME [NAME …] [--async] [--location=LOCATION     | --region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE, -z ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) When you delete a cluster, the following resources are deleted:
  • The control plane resources
  • All of the node instances in the cluster
  • Any Pods that are running on those instances
  • Any firewalls and routes created by Kubernetes Engine at the time of cluster creation
  • Data stored in host hostPath and emptyDir volumes

GKE will attempt to delete the following resources. Deletion of these resources is not always guaranteed:

  • External load balancers created by the cluster
  • Internal load balancers created by the cluster
  • Persistent disk volumes
EXAMPLES
To delete an existing cluster, run: 
gcloud alpha container clusters delete sample-cluster
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME [NAME …]
The names of the clusters to delete.
FLAGS
--async
Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
At most one of these can be specified:
--location=LOCATION
Compute zone or region (e.g. us-central1-a or us-central1) for the cluster. Overrides the default compute/region or compute/zone value for this command invocation. Prefer using this flag over the --region or --zone flags.
--region=REGION
Compute region (e.g. us-central1) for a regional cluster. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.
--zone=ZONE, -z ZONE
Compute zone (e.g. us-central1-a) for a zonal cluster. Overrides the default compute/zone property value for this command invocation.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
