Archiving Environments

Remove environments from your active list without affecting deployed infrastructure

Overview

Archiving moves an environment to the Archived tab, removing it from your active environment list. Archived environments no longer trigger new runs, but all existing infrastructure remains untouched. Archiving is purely a visibility and state change: no resources are created, modified, or destroyed.

You can archive an environment regardless of its install status (live, uninstalled, or draft). However, you cannot archive an environment while a run is in progress. Wait for the current run to complete before archiving.

Archived environments are excluded from collection cost calculations.

Archiving does not destroy infrastructure. If you want to tear down resources, uninstall the environment first. See Runs for details on the uninstall workflow.
