DetachVpnGateway

Description

Detaches a VPN gateway from a VPC. You do this if you're planning to turn off the VPC and not use it anymore. You can confirm a VPN gateway has been completely detached from a VPC by describing the VPN gateway (any attachments to the VPN gateway are also described).

You must wait for the attachment's state to switch to detached before you can delete the VPC or attach a different VPC to the VPN gateway.

For more information about Amazon Virtual Private Cloud and VPN gateways, go to Adding an IPsec Hardware VPN Gateway to Your VPC in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.
