Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

ClientException

These errors are usually caused by a client action, such as using an action or resource on behalf of a user that doesn't have permissions to use the action or resource, or specifying an identifier that is not valid.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ClusterContainsContainerInstancesException

You cannot delete a cluster that has registered container instances. First, deregister the container instances before you can delete the cluster. For more information, see DeregisterContainerInstance.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ClusterContainsServicesException

You cannot delete a cluster that contains services. First, update the service to reduce its desired task count to 0 and then delete the service. For more information, see UpdateService and DeleteService.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ClusterContainsTasksException

You cannot delete a cluster that has active tasks.

HTTP Status Code: 400

Example

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (AUTHPARAMS) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the AWS General Reference.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to create them manually. When you use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) or one of the AWS SDKs to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you, with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't have to sign requests yourself.

Example

This example request deletes the cluster called My-cluster.
