You can directly release pay-as-you-go clusters or expired subscription clusters.
If you want to release a subscription cluster that has not expired, you must submit
a ticket to request a refund and release the cluster. This topic describes how to
release a pay-as-you-go cluster.
Precautions
- After a cluster is released, the data stored on the cluster cannot be restored. We
recommend that you back up data before you release a cluster. For more information,
see Create manual snapshots and restore data from manual snapshots.
- Release protection can be performed for a cluster up to three times. Proceed with
caution.
Procedure
- Log on to the Elasticsearch console.
- In the left-side navigation pane, click Elasticsearch Clusters.
- In the top navigation bar, select the resource group to which the cluster you want
to release belongs and the region where the cluster resides. In the left-side navigation
pane, click Elasticsearch Clusters again.
- On the Elasticsearch Clusters page, find the cluster and choose in the Actions column.
