## What Will You Do  
In part 5, you will:

- Deprovision the AKS cluster and all associated infrastructure in Azure

Watch a video of this exercise.

## Assumptions  
This part assumes that you have completed [Part 1](https://docs.rafay.co/learn/quickstart/aks/clusterlifecycle/provision/) of this series and have a successfully provisioned and healthy AKS cluster.

## Step 1: Deprovision Cluster  
In this step, we will deprovision the AKS cluster through the web console. The controller will cleanup all cluster components in your Azure account.

- Go to Infrastructure -> Clusters.
- Click on the settings icon of the cluster and select "Delete"
- When prompted, select "yes" to confirm the deletion of the cluster

- The cluster provision status will show "INFRA DELETION IN PROGRESS". Note, it can take approximately 20 minutes for the deletion to finish

- Once the deletion is complete, the cluster will be removed from the web console

## Step 1: Deprovision Cluster with RCTL CLI  
In this step, we will deprovision the AKS cluster with the RCTL CLI. The controller will cleanup all cluster components in your Azure account.

- Execute the following command to begin deprovisioning the cluster. Note, update the cluster-name in the below command with the name of your cluster.

```
./rctl delete cluster <cluster-name>
```

- The cluster provision status will show "INFRA DELETION IN PROGRESS". Note, it can take approximately 20 minutes for the deletion to finish

- Once the deletion is complete, the cluster will be removed from the web console

## Step 1: Deprovision Cluster with Terraform  
In this step, we will deprovision the AKS cluster with a Terraform command. The controller will cleanup all cluster components in your Azure account.

- Execute the following command to begin deprovisioning the cluster.

```
terraform destroy
```

- Enter `yes` when prompted.

- The cluster provision status will show "INFRA DELETION IN PROGRESS". Note, it can take approximately 10 minutes for the deletion to finish.

- Once the deletion is complete, the cluster will be removed from the web console

## Recap  
Congratulations! At this point, you have successfully deprovisioned the AKS cluster and all associated infrastructure components in your Azure account.
