How to delete a Cluster with No Final Cluster Snapshot in RedShift

Question

Hi Team,

I have one RedShift Cluster in AWS. Now I want to delete the cluster. But I don't need any snapshots. How can I delete the cluster?

Hi@akhtar,

You can delete a previously provisioned cluster without its final snapshot being created. The below example deletes a cluster, forcing data deletion, so no final cluster snapshot is created.

$ aws redshift delete-cluster --cluster-identifier mycluster --skip-final-cluster-snapshot
