If you have an Azure VMware Solution private cloud that you no longer need, you can delete it. The private cloud includes:
-
An isolated network domain
-
One or more provisioned vSphere clusters on dedicated server hosts
-
Several virtual machines (VMs)
When you delete a private cloud, all VMs, their data, clusters, and network address space provisioned get deleted. The dedicated Azure VMware Solution hosts are securely wiped and returned to the free pool.
Caution
Deleting the private cloud terminates all running workloads and components and is an irreversible operation. Once you delete the private cloud, you cannot recover the data.
If you require the VMs and their data later, make sure to backup the data before you delete the private cloud. Unfortunately, there's no way to recover the VMs and their data.
-
Access the Azure VMware Solutions console in the Azure portal.
-
Select the private cloud you want to delete.
-
Enter the name of the private cloud and select Yes.
Note
The deletion process takes a few hours to complete.
