DeleteService
Deletes a specified service within a cluster. You can delete a service if you have no running tasks in it and the desired task count is zero. If the service is actively maintaining tasks, you can't delete it, and you must update the service to a desired task count of zero. For more information, see UpdateService.
Note
When you delete a service, if there are still running tasks that require cleanup,
the service status moves from ACTIVE to DRAINING, and the
service is no longer visible in the console or in the ListServices
API operation. After all tasks have transitioned to either STOPPING or
STOPPED status, the service status moves from DRAINING
to INACTIVE. Services in the DRAINING or
INACTIVE status can still be viewed with the DescribeServices API operation. However, in the future,
INACTIVE services may be cleaned up and purged from Amazon ECS record
keeping, and DescribeServices calls on those services return a
ServiceNotFoundException error.
Important
If you attempt to create a new service with the same name as an existing service
in either ACTIVE or DRAINING status, you receive an
error.

}Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
- cluster
-
The short name or full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the cluster that hosts the service to delete. If you do not specify a cluster, the default cluster is assumed.
Type: String
Required: No
- force
-
If
true, allows you to delete a service even if it wasn't scaled down to zero tasks. It's only necessary to use this if the service uses theREPLICAscheduling strategy.Type: Boolean

- service
-
The name of the service to delete.
Type: String
Required: Yes

}Response Elements
If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.
The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.
Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

HTTP Status Code: 400
- ClusterNotFoundException
-
The specified cluster wasn't found. You can view your available clusters with ListClusters. Amazon ECS clusters are Region specific.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- InvalidParameterException
-
The specified parameter isn't valid. Review the available parameters for the API request.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- ServerException
-
These errors are usually caused by a server issue.
HTTP Status Code: 500
- ServiceNotFoundException
-
The specified service wasn't found. You can view your available services with ListServices. Amazon ECS services are cluster specific and Region specific.
HTTP Status Code: 400
Examples
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
Example
This example API request deletes the test service from the
default cluster.
