A computing system, for example, a multi-tenant system configures a datacenter in a cloud platform using a cloud platform infrastructure language that is cloud platform independent. The system destroys the datacenter or a set of datacenter entities of the datacenter. The system determines dependencies between datacenter entities based on the declarative specification. The system generates an aggregate destroy pipeline comprising a hierarchy of pipelines. The system generates an aggregate destruction version map associating datacenter entities of the datacenter with versions of software artifacts, wherein a software artifact stores instructions for destroying resources of a datacenter entity. The system collects a set of software artifacts according to the aggregate destruction version map. The system executes the aggregate destroy pipeline in conjunction with the aggregate destruction version map to destroy the set of datacenter entities of the datacenter.
