6.1. Logout of cluster when you are done

To avoid incurring costs for the lustre file system and the c5n.xlarge compute node, it is best to delete the cluster after you have copied the output data to the S3 Bucket.

If you are logged into the Parallel Cluster then use the following command

exit

6.2. Delete Cluster

Run the following command on your local computer.

pcluster delete-cluster --region=us-east-1 --cluster-name cmaq

6.3. Verify that the cluster was deleted

pcluster describe-cluster --region=us-east-1 --cluster-name cmaq

Output:

"lastUpdatedTime": "2022-02-25T20:17:19.263Z",
  "region": "us-east-1",
  "clusterStatus": "DELETE_IN_PROGRESS"

Verify that you see the following output

pcluster describe-cluster --region=us-east-1 --cluster-name cmaq

Output:

pcluster describe-cluster --region=us-east-1 --cluster-name cmaq
{
  "message": "Cluster 'cmaq' does not exist or belongs to an incompatible ParallelCluster major version."
