It doesn't exist with Terraform either if you are following least privilege and using a cloud provider.

Eh, Azure has a big delete button for any Subscription. Seen it happen and take down a production system.

Thankfully they also must've realised this was a stupid button and provide a 90-day cooldown period on deleted subscriptions... but why have the easy button in the first place?

To be fair when you click the button:

* it throws a.big warning text

* it lists out all the resources you're deleting

* you have to type out the name of the subscription

* click another button

* and then another yes I'm sure button with more warning text

At the end of the day they have to provide a button.
