Deleting Kafka Instances

Delete one or more Kafka instances at a time on the DMS for Kafka console.

Manage deleted instances using recycle bin policies. Deleting instances when no recycle bin policies are enabled clears instance data permanently. Recycle bin policies are disabled by default. To enable them, see Enabling Recycle Bin.

Prerequisites

The Kafka instance is in the Running, Faulty, or Creation failed state.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner to select the region where your instance is located.
  3. Click in the upper left corner and choose Application > Distributed Message Service for Kafka to open the Kafka instance list.
  4. Delete pay-per-use Kafka instances in either of the following ways:

    • Select one or more Kafka instances and click Delete in the upper left corner.
    • In the row containing the Kafka instance to be deleted, choose More > Delete.
    • Click the desired Kafka instance to go to the instance details page. In the upper right corner, choose > Delete.

  5. In the Delete Instance dialog box, enter DELETE and click OK to delete the Kafka instance.

    It takes 1 to 60 seconds to delete a Kafka instance.

    The Kafka instances are deleted when they are no longer displayed in the instance list.
