Deactivating an AWS environment

Learn how to deactivate an AWS environment for Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) Public Cloud.

Required role: EnvironmentAdmin or PowerUser

  1. In the CDW service, go to the Environments tab.
  2. Locate the environment that you want to deactivate and click Deactivate.
    The Action modal is displayed.
  3. On the Action modal, you can select environment deactivation options:
    • Choose Drop Data to remove the managed buckets that were created by CDW during environment activation. The underlying data in the data lake is untouched. Only the default Database Catalog is retained because it resides in the data lake. Non-default Database Catalogs and Virtual Warehouses are deleted.
    • Choose Force Delete to drop the data and to remove the Database Catalogs and Virtual Warehouses that are associated with the environment.
  4. Click OK to deactivate the environment.
