| Option      | Short | Description                                                 | Default  |
| ----------- | ----- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | -------- |
| `--api-key` | `-k`  | The Hetzner Cloud project API token (or set `HCLOUD_TOKEN`) | Required |
| `--region`  | `-r`  | The Hetzner location the network is in                      | `fsn1`   |

{% hint style="warning" %}
Terminating an instance permanently deletes it and its data. To tear down the whole environment, use [deprovision](/rumi-cli/commands/cloud/hetzner/deprovision.md).
{% endhint %}
