Deleting a resource
Use the delete-resource
command to delete an existing resource. You can
delete the resource whether or not the resource was originally provisioned using
Cloud Control API.
We strongly advise against using Cloud Control API to delete resources that are under active management by other services. Doing socan lead to unexpected results. For example, don't use Cloud Control API to delete resources that are currently part of an AWS CloudFormation stack.
To update an existing resource, you must specify the resource's identifier. For more information about finding a resource's identifier, see Identifying a resource.
The following example deletes an AWS::Logs::LogGroup resource with the name of
CloudControlApiLogGroup
.
aws cloudcontrol delete-resource --type-name AWS::Logs::LogGroup --identifier CloudControlApiLogGroup
Tracking the progress of a delete resource request
The delete-resource
command returns a ProgressEvent
object that you can use to track the current status of your resource operation
request. For more information, see Tracking the progress of resource requests.
