Action Resource Type Description
Destroy Cloud Machine, Deployment, Software Component,
Virtual Machine, and VMware NSX Edge
Destroy a provisioned resource.
You can immediately destroy a
provisioned resource. Otherwise,
machines are destroyed when their
lease or their archival period ends.
Destroying components of a
deployment is not recommended
best practice. It is better to destroy
the 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.
If you included an XaaS blueprint in
a composite blueprint, the destroy
deployment action will not destroy
the XaaS component. You must run
an XaaS destroy action to remove
the XaaS component.
Additionally, XaaS are not
destroyed by an expired lease. You
must run an XaaS destroy action.
When destroying a deployment that
contains an Amazon machine
component, all EBS volumes that
were added to the machine during
its life cycle are detached, rather
than destroyed.
vRealize Automation does not
provide an option for destroying the
EBS volumes.
Destroy Existing Network Existing Network Destroy the network.
Destroy VMWare NSX Load
Balancer
VMWare NSX Load Balancer Destroy the NSX load balancer.
