Archive a Kubernetes Cluster

Archive a cluster to temporarily pause management without deleting it.

• Archived state: Read-only in the dashboard; all management actions are disabled. Does not count toward your active cluster limit.
• Use cases: Free an active cluster slot to create or test a new cluster.
• Cluster impact: Workloads keep running; only dashboard management is paused.
• Restore: Unarchive at anytime from Settings > Danger Zone.
• Requirement: Turn off Cluster Protection before archiving.
• Permissions: Organization owners/admins can archive or unarchive any cluster. Developers can do it only if they are the cluster owner.
