AzureKeyVault (version 1.0.3)

delete_key_vault: Delete an Azure Key Vault

Description

Method for the AzureRMR::az_resource_group class.

Value

NULL on successful deletion.

Usage

delete_key_vault(name, confirm=TRUE, wait=FALSE, purge=FALSE)

Arguments

• name: The name of the key vault.

• confirm: Whether to ask for confirmation before deleting.

• wait: Whether to wait until the deletion is complete. Note that purge=TRUE will set wait=TRUE as well.

• purge: For a vault with the soft-deletion feature enabled, whether to purge it as well (hard delete). Has no effect if the vault does not have soft-deletion enabled.

Details

Deleting a key vault that has soft-deletion enabled does not permanently remove it. Instead the resource is held for a given retention period (90 days), during which it can be recovered, essentially undoing the deletion.

To see what soft-deleted key vaults exist, call the list_deleted_key_vaults method. To recover a soft-deleted key vault, call the create_key_vault method from the vault's original resource group, with the vault name. To purge (permanently delete) it, call the purge_key_vault method.
