Deletes the cluster, including the Kubernetes endpoint and all worker
nodes. Firewalls and routes that were configured during cluster creation
are also deleted. Other Google Compute Engine resources that might be in
use by the cluster, such as load balancer resources, are not deleted if
they weren't present when the cluster was initially created.
This method waitsโthe workflow execution is pausedโuntil the operation is
complete, fails, or times out. The default timeout value is 1800 seconds (30
minutes) and can be changed to a maximum value of 31536000 seconds (one year)
for long-running operations using the connector_params field. See the
Connectors reference.
The connector uses polling to monitor the long-running operation, which might
generate additional billable steps. For more information about retries and
long-running operations, refer to Understand connectors.
The polling policy for the long-running operation can be configured. To set the
connector-specific parameters (connector_params), refer to
Invoke a connector call.

Raised exceptions
Exceptions
ConnectionError
In case of a network problem (such as DNS failure or refused connection).
HttpError
If the response status is >= 400 (excluding 429 and 503).
TimeoutError
If a long-running operation takes longer to finish than the specified timeout limit.
TypeError
If an operation or function receives an argument of the wrong type.
ValueError
