Destroy Cloud Infrastructure
What you’ll learn
- how to destroy cloud infrastructure previously deployed for project applications (possibly into multiple environments)
The destroy Command#
This command lets you destroy cloud infrastructure previously deployed within a project application.

We're aware of this fact, and this is mainly because of the Amazon ElasticSearch Service. While other cloud infrastructure resources get destroyed reasonably fast, this service can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to destroy itself. In rare cases, we've even seen the service still present in user's account for days.
Unfortunately, this is a well-known issue for quite some time, and until the present, there haven't been any positive improvements.
