Deleting a Stack

Function

DeleteStack

This API deletes a stack. **Exercise caution when performing this operation. Deleting a stack will delete all data related to the stack by default, such as execution plans, stack events, stack outputs, and resources. **

  • This API triggers the deletion of a stack, and all data of the stack is deleted for eventual consistency. You can call GetStackMetadata or ListStacks to track the deletion.

  • A stack cannot be deleted if it is in a non-final state (ending with IN_PROGRESS). The states may include:

    • DEPLOYMENT_IN_PROGRESS

    • DELETION_IN_PROGRESS

    • ROLLBACK_IN_PROGRESS

  • If deletion protection is enabled for a stack, the stack cannot be deleted. You can call GetStackMetadata and view the enable_deletion_protection field in the returned result to check whether deletion protection is enabled. You can call UpdateStack to disable deletion protection.

  • If the deletion of a stack fails, you can correct the current template based on the information in StackEvents, and delete the stack again after completing deployment. Deployment can be triggered in either of the following ways:

    • Call CreateExecutionPlan to create an execution plan. After the execution plan is created, call ApplyExecutionPlan to deploy the stack.

    • Call DeployStack to deploy the stack.

Table 1 Path Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

project_id

Yes

String

A project ID is obtained by calling an API or from the console.

Obtaining a Project ID

Minimum: 3

Maximum: 64

stack_name

Yes

String

A stack name is unique within its domain (domain_id), region, and project (project_id). It is case-sensitive and starts with a letter. Only letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-) are allowed.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 128

Table 2 Query Parameters

Parameter

Mandatory

Type

Description

stack_id

No

String

Unique stack ID.

It is a UUID generated by RFS when a stack is created.

Stack names are unique at one specific time, so you can create a stack named HelloWorld and another stack with the same name after deleting the first one.

For parallel development, team members may want to ensure that they are operating the stack they created, not one with the same name created by other members after deleting the previous one.

To avoid this mismatch, check the ID, since RFS ensures each stack has a unique ID that does not change with updates. If the stack_id value differs from the current stack ID, 400 is returned.

Minimum: 36

Maximum: 36
