Deleting a Cluster
When you delete a cluster, you can optionally create a final cluster manual snapshot. If you plan to
provision a new cluster with the same data and configuration as the one you are deleting, you will need
this snapshot. Furthermore, when you delete a cluster, automated snapshots of the cluster are removed.
For more information about cluster snapshots, see
Amazon Redshift Snapshots (p. 52)
