Viewing and deleting VCF as a Service Cloud Director sites

View the summary and detailed information of the IBM Cloud® for VMware Cloud Foundation as a Service Cloud Director sites that are provisioned in your account.

When you no longer need them, you can delete the Cloud Director sites that are provisioned in your account.

You cannot delete a single-tenant Cloud Director site instance if it still has virtual data centers (VDCs) in it. Before you delete your Cloud Director site, ensure that all VDC instances in the site are deleted.

For multitenant instances, you can delete only VDCs. The Cloud Director site is automatically deleted when the last VDC in the region is deleted.
