Deleting, Unsubscribing From, or Releasing a Yearly/Monthly-Billed Cluster

Precautions

• Unsubscribing from or releasing a cluster will delete the nodes in the cluster (excluding accepted nodes), data disks attached to the nodes, workloads, and Services. Related services cannot be restored. Before performing this operation, ensure that data has been backed up or migrated. Removed data cannot be restored.
  Resources that are not created in CCE will not be deleted:

  • Accepted nodes (only the nodes created in CCE are deleted);
  • ELB load balancers associated with Services and ingresses (only the automatically created load balancers are deleted);
  • Manually created cloud storage resources associated with PVs or imported cloud storage resources (only the cloud storage resources automatically created by PVCs are deleted)
• When you unsubscribe from or release a cluster, only the resources associated with the order are unsubscribed from. Non-associated resources are retained and their billing continues.
• For a yearly/monthly cluster, if the retention expires, the cluster will be automatically released. For the nodes in the cluster, if their retention expires at the same time, they will also be released; if not, the node OS will be reinstalled. Pay attention to the expired clusters under your account and renew them in a timely manner to prevent data loss caused by node reinstallation.
• Cluster resources include master node resources and IaaS resources used by worker nodes. For details, see Pricing Details.
• If an order contains resources in a primary-secondary relationship, you need to unsubscribe from the resources separately.
