Destroy StackGen-Provisioned Infrastructure

The stackgen destroy command is used to tear down the infrastructure provisioned from exported appStack IaC configurations.

Usage

stackgen destroy [flags]

note

If you skip adding the --apply flag, you will only be able to preview changes and not execute them.

Flags

--apply	Preview and apply the infrastructure changes. This command does not require further approval.
--appstack-id string	AppStack to destroy. Use stackgen appstack list, show, or ls for ids.
--backend-config stringArray	Backend configuration as a key=value pair or a path to an HCL file with key/value assignments. This flag can be specified multiple times.
--cloud-profile string	Specify the credential profile to use for provisioning the infrastructure. This works only for AWS. For other clouds, make sure default credentials are set.
-e, --environment string	Name of the environment that belongs to the provided appStack.
-h, --help	Displays help information for the destroy command.
--iac-tool string	IaC tool: terraform or tofu (default). See IaC tool and infrastructure lifecycle.

stackgen destroy --apply --appstack-id 12345-uuid

The above command will:

• Preview and apply the infrastructure changes.
• Use the provided appStack ID (12345-uuid).

Usage 2: Destroy Infrastructure with Cloud Profile

stackgen destroy --appstack-id 12345-uuid --cloud-profile my-aws-profile --var-file ./custom-vars.tfvars.json

The above command will:

• Use the provided appStack ID (12345-uuid).
• Specify the cloud profile (my-aws-profile) for AWS credential usage.
• Use the custom variables file (./custom-vars.tfvars.json).

Usage 3: Destroy Infrastructure with Backend Configuration
