Details¶

Machines are specified by their numbers, which may be retrieved from the output of juju status.

It is possible to remove a machine from Juju model without affecting the corresponding cloud instance by using the --keep-instance option.

Machines responsible for the model cannot be removed.

Machines running units or containers can be removed using the --force option; this will also remove those units and containers without giving them an opportunity to shut down cleanly.

Machine removal is a multi-step process. Under normal circumstances, Juju will not proceed to the next step until the current step has finished. However, when using --force, users can also specify --no-wait to progress through steps without delay waiting for each step to complete.
