Terminate a Flex cluster
Important
As of February 2025, you can create Flex clusters, and can no longer
create M2 and M5 clusters or Serverless instances in the
Atlas UI, Atlas CLI, Atlas Administration API, Atlas Kubernetes Operator, HashiCorp Terraform,
or Atlas CloudFormation Resources.
Atlas no longer supports M2 and M5 clusters and Serverless instances. As of May 25, 2025, Atlas has migrated all existing M2 and M5
clusters to Flex clusters.
Atlas migrated Serverless instances to Free clusters, Flex clusters, or Dedicated clusters according to your usage. To see which tiers Atlas migrated your instances to, consult the All Clusters page in the Atlas UI.
To terminate an Atlas Flex cluster using the Atlas UI:
In Atlas, go to the Clusters page for your project.
If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your desired project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.
If it's not already displayed, select your desired project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.
In the sidebar, click Clusters under the Database heading.
The Clusters page displays.
Click next to the Flex cluster you want to terminate.
Warning
If you terminate a Flex cluster with associated tags that don't apply to any other cluster, Atlas deletes the tags. You can't restore these deleted tags.
Atlas terminates the Flex cluster after completing any in-progress deployment changes.
Atlas bills for the operations performed while the Flex cluster is active. To learn more about Atlas billing, see Billing.
