Can you Reuse Cluster ID and Instance ID on AlloyDB?


this is a very simple question. I've created an AlloyDB cluster & instance. However I think I don't need it yet for now. I want to delete the cluster & instance and I wonder is the Cluster ID and Instance ID reusable if I want to use it again after I delete it?

We know that Project ID in GCP is not usable, I wonder what about Cluster ID and Instance ID.


Solution

  • Currently we don't hold either post-delete. Immediately after deleting the cluster or the primary instance, you can re-use the IDs.

    This is subject to change as AlloyDB is in public preview so things are still shifting leading up to GA. I don't know offhand of any plans to change this behavior though.
