The Delete ElastiCache Clusters action will delete all ElastiCache clusters matching a specified filter.

For example, at 8am, all ElastiCache clusters ending in "-dev" can be deleted.

The Delete ElastiCache Clusters action includes a "test mode" as a way of determining which items will be deleted without actually deleting the items. This way, you can fine tune your action without concern for deleting the wrong items. Test Mode is on by default.

When test mode is enabled, execute your action normally then check the action logs to verify that only items that should have been deleted would have been deleted, and that items that should not have been deleted would not have been deleted.

When you are satisfied, disable Test Mode.

Please see Common Action Settings for a description of settings common to all action types.
