Deleting a linked zone from the CLI

To delete a linked zone using the CLI, run the following command:

ibmcloud dns cross-account linked-zone-delete LINKED_ZONE_ID [-i, --instance INSTANCE] [--output FORMAT]

Where:

• LINKED_ZONE_ID is the ID of linked zone.
• -i, --instance value is the instance name or ID. If not set, the context instance specified by ibmcloud dns instance-target INSTANCE is used.
• --output value specifies the output format. Currently, json is the only supported format.

Deleting a linked zone with the API

To delete a linked zone using the API, follow these steps:

1. Set up your API environment with the correct variables.

2. Store the following values in variables to be used in the API command:

   • INSTANCE_ID, which is the unique identifier of a service instance.
   • LINKED_DNSZONE_ID which is the unique identifier of a linked zone.
   • IAM_TOKEN, which is the IAM authorization token.

3. When all variables are initiated, delete the linked zone:

   curl -X DELETE \
       https://api.dns-svcs.cloud.ibm.com/v1/instances/$INSTANCE_ID/linked_dnszones/$LINKED_DNSZONE_ID \
       -H "Authorization: $IAM_TOKEN"
