delete-capacity-provider¶

Description¶

Deletes the specified capacity provider.

Note

The FARGATE and FARGATE_SPOT capacity providers are reserved and can’t be deleted. You can disassociate them from a cluster using either the PutClusterCapacityProviders API or by deleting the cluster.

Prior to a capacity provider being deleted, the capacity provider must be removed from the capacity provider strategy from all services. The UpdateService API can be used to remove a capacity provider from a service’s capacity provider strategy. When updating a service, the forceNewDeployment option can be used to ensure that any tasks using the Amazon EC2 instance capacity provided by the capacity provider are transitioned to use the capacity from the remaining capacity providers. Only capacity providers that aren’t associated with a cluster can be deleted. To remove a capacity provider from a cluster, you can either use PutClusterCapacityProviders or delete the cluster.

Synopsis¶

  delete-capacity-provider
--capacity-provider <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--capacity-provider (string)

The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the capacity provider to delete.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To delete a capacity provider using the Amazon Resource Name (ARN)

The following delete-capacity-provider example deletes a capacity provider by specifying the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the capacity provider. The ARN as well as the status of the capacity provider deletion can be retrieved using the describe-capacity-providers command.

aws ecs delete-capacity-provider \
    --capacity-provider arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider

Output:

{
    "capacityProvider": {
        "capacityProviderArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider",
        "name": "ExampleCapacityProvider",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "autoScalingGroupProvider": {
            "autoScalingGroupArn": "arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup",
            "managedScaling": {
                "status": "ENABLED",
                "targetCapacity": 100,
                "minimumScalingStepSize": 1,
                "maximumScalingStepSize": 10000
            },
            "managedTerminationProtection": "DISABLED"
        },
        "updateStatus": "DELETE_IN_PROGRESS",
        "tags": []
    }
}

For more information, see Cluster capacity providers in the Amazon ECS Developer Guide.

Example 2: To delete a capacity provider using the name

The following delete-capacity-provider example deletes a capacity provider by specifying the short name of the capacity provider. The short name as well as the status of the capacity provider deletion can be retrieved using the describe-capacity-providers command.

aws ecs delete-capacity-provider \
    --capacity-provider ExampleCapacityProvider

Output:

{
    "capacityProvider": {
        "capacityProviderArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider",
        "name": "ExampleCapacityProvider",
        "status": "ACTIVE",
        "autoScalingGroupProvider": {
            "autoScalingGroupArn": "arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup",
            "managedScaling": {
                "status": "ENABLED",
                "targetCapacity": 100,
                "minimumScalingStepSize": 1,
                "maximumScalingStepSize": 10000
            },
            "managedTerminationProtection": "DISABLED"
        },
        "updateStatus": "DELETE_IN_PROGRESS",
        "tags": []
    }
}

Output¶

capacityProvider -> (structure)

The details of the capacity provider.

capacityProviderArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the capacity provider.

name -> (string)

The name of the capacity provider.

status -> (string)

The current status of the capacity provider. Only capacity providers in an ACTIVE state can be used in a cluster. When a capacity provider is successfully deleted, it has an INACTIVE status.

autoScalingGroupProvider -> (structure)

The Auto Scaling group settings for the capacity provider.

autoScalingGroupArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) that identifies the Auto Scaling group.

managedScaling -> (structure)

The managed scaling settings for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider.

status -> (string)

Determines whether to use managed scaling for the capacity provider.

targetCapacity -> (integer)

The target capacity value for the capacity provider. The specified value must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100 . A value of 100 results in the Amazon EC2 instances in your Auto Scaling group being completely used.

minimumScalingStepSize -> (integer)

The minimum number of container instances that Amazon ECS scales in or scales out at one time. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 1 is used.

maximumScalingStepSize -> (integer)

The maximum number of container instances that Amazon ECS scales in or scales out at one time. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 10000 is used.

instanceWarmupPeriod -> (integer)

The period of time, in seconds, after a newly launched Amazon EC2 instance can contribute to CloudWatch metrics for Auto Scaling group. If this parameter is omitted, the default value of 300 seconds is used.

managedTerminationProtection -> (string)

The managed termination protection setting to use for the Auto Scaling group capacity provider. This determines whether the Auto Scaling group has managed termination protection. The default is disabled.

Warning

When using managed termination protection, managed scaling must also be used otherwise managed termination protection doesn’t work.

When managed termination protection is enabled, Amazon ECS prevents the Amazon EC2 instances in an Auto Scaling group that contain tasks from being terminated during a scale-in action. The Auto Scaling group and each instance in the Auto Scaling group must have instance protection from scale-in actions enabled as well. For more information, see Instance Protection in the Auto Scaling User Guide .

When managed termination protection is disabled, your Amazon EC2 instances aren’t protected from termination when the Auto Scaling group scales in.

updateStatus -> (string)

The update status of the capacity provider. The following are the possible states that is returned.

DELETE_IN_PROGRESS

The capacity provider is in the process of being deleted.

DELETE_COMPLETE

The capacity provider was successfully deleted and has an INACTIVE status.

DELETE_FAILED

The capacity provider can’t be deleted. The update status reason provides further details about why the delete failed.

updateStatusReason -> (string)

The update status reason. This provides further details about the update status for the capacity provider.

tags -> (list)

The metadata that you apply to the capacity provider to help you categorize and organize it. Each tag consists of a key and an optional value. You define both.

The following basic restrictions apply to tags:

Maximum number of tags per resource - 50

For each resource, each tag key must be unique, and each tag key can have only one value.

Maximum key length - 128 Unicode characters in UTF-8

Maximum value length - 256 Unicode characters in UTF-8

If your tagging schema is used across multiple services and resources, remember that other services may have restrictions on allowed characters. Generally allowed characters are: letters, numbers, and spaces representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : / @.

Tag keys and values are case-sensitive.

Do not use aws: , AWS: , or any upper or lowercase combination of such as a prefix for either keys or values as it is reserved for Amazon Web Services use. You cannot edit or delete tag keys or values with this prefix. Tags with this prefix do not count against your tags per resource limit.
