To delete an Amazon DocumentDB cluster

The following delete-db-cluster example deletes the Amazon DocumentDB cluster sample-cluster. No backup of the cluster is made prior to deleting it. NOTE: You must delete all instances associated with the cluster before you can delete it.

aws docdb delete-db-cluster \
    --db-cluster-identifier sample-cluster \
    --skip-final-snapshot

Output:
