What will you need before starting?

Delete the cluster

  1. Sign into the Azure CLI by running az login and following the steps to authorize your account. 
  2. Run the following command to delete your cluster. This command will take 30 minutes to complete, and you will not be able to move forward until it has ended.
    az aro delete -y \
      --resource-group $AZR_RESOURCE_GROUP \
      --name $AZR_CLUSTER
  3. Run the following command to delete your resource group. Only do this if there is nothing else in the resource group
    az group delete -y \
      --name $AZR_RESOURCE_GROUP

Congratulations, you have successfully deleted your Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster and any associated resource groups. This is the cleanest method to ensure nothing is remaining after your cluster deployment.
