delete-fleets¶

Description¶

Deletes the specified EC2 Fleets.

After you delete an EC2 Fleet, it launches no new instances.

You must also specify whether a deleted EC2 Fleet should terminate its instances. If you choose to terminate the instances, the EC2 Fleet enters the deleted_terminating state. Otherwise, the EC2 Fleet enters the deleted_running state, and the instances continue to run until they are interrupted or you terminate them manually.

For instant fleets, EC2 Fleet must terminate the instances when the fleet is deleted. A deleted instant fleet with running instances is not supported.

Restrictions

You can delete up to 25 instant fleets in a single request. If you exceed this number, no instant fleets are deleted and an error is returned. There is no restriction on the number of fleets of type maintain or request that can be deleted in a single request.
Up to 1000 instances can be terminated in a single request to delete instant fleets.

For more information, see Delete an EC2 Fleet in the Amazon EC2 User Guide .

Options¶

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--fleet-ids (list)

The IDs of the EC2 Fleets.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--terminate-instances | --no-terminate-instances (boolean)

Indicates whether to terminate the associated instances when the EC2 Fleet is deleted. The default is to terminate the instances.

To let the instances continue to run after the EC2 Fleet is deleted, specify no-terminate-instances . Supported only for fleets of type maintain and request .

For instant fleets, you cannot specify NoTerminateInstances . A deleted instant fleet with running instances is not supported.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

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 an EC2 Fleet and terminate the associated instances

The following delete-fleets example deletes the specified EC2 Fleet and terminates the associated On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances.

aws ec2 delete-fleets \
    --fleet-ids fleet-12a34b55-67cd-8ef9-ba9b-9208dEXAMPLE \
    --terminate-instances

Output:

{
    "SuccessfulFleetDeletions": [
        {
            "CurrentFleetState": "deleted_terminating",
            "PreviousFleetState": "active",
            "FleetId": "fleet-12a34b55-67cd-8ef9-ba9b-9208dEXAMPLE"
        }
    ],
    "UnsuccessfulFleetDeletions": []
}

Example 2: To delete an EC2 Fleet without terminating the associated instances

The following delete-fleets example deletes the specified EC2 Fleet without terminating the associated On-Demand Instances and Spot Instances.

aws ec2 delete-fleets \
    --fleet-ids fleet-12a34b55-67cd-8ef9-ba9b-9208dEXAMPLE \
    --no-terminate-instances

Output:

{
    "SuccessfulFleetDeletions": [
        {
            "CurrentFleetState": "deleted_running",
            "PreviousFleetState": "active",
            "FleetId": "fleet-12a34b55-67cd-8ef9-ba9b-9208dEXAMPLE"
        }
    ],
    "UnsuccessfulFleetDeletions": []
}
