Action Resource Type Description
Destroy Cloud Machine, Deployment, Virtual Machine, and
NSX Edge
Immediately destroy a provisioned
resource. You must run this action
to destroy XaaS resources, even if
they are part of a deployment you
are destroying. Other resources are
destroyed when their lease or their
archival period ends.
Except for XaaS, destroying
components of a deployment is not
a best practice. Use the scale in
action to reduce the number of
machines in your deployment, or
destroy the entire deployment.
The Destroy action is not available
for the following deployment
situations:
n
physical machine deployments
n
deployments with an NSX
existing network or NSX
existing security resource
n
deployments with an NSX on-
demand load balancer resource
Because an NSX load balancer is
property of an on-demand NSX
edge, when an NSX edge is
destroyed, the load balancer
resource is also destroyed and
resources are released. When a
machine tier that is load balanced is
destroyed, it is removed from the
load balancer pool on the respective
NSX edge.
Business group administrators can
choose to force destroy a
deployment after a failed destroy
request. Force destroy instructs
vRealize Automation to ignore
failures to destroy individual
resources while destroying the
