DeleteLens

Delete an existing lens.

Only the owner of a lens can delete it. After the lens is deleted, AWS accounts and users that you shared the lens with can continue to use it, but they will no longer be able to apply it to new workloads.

Note

Disclaimer

By sharing your custom lenses with other AWS accounts, you acknowledge that AWS will make your custom lenses available to those other accounts. Those other accounts may continue to access and use your shared custom lenses even if you delete the custom lenses from your own AWS account or terminate your AWS account.

Request Syntax


DELETE /lenses/LensAlias?ClientRequestToken=ClientRequestToken&LensStatus=LensStatus HTTP/1.1

URI Request Parameters

The request uses the following URI parameters.

ClientRequestToken

A unique case-sensitive string used to ensure that this request is idempotent (executes only once).

You should not reuse the same token for other requests. If you retry a request with the same client request token and the same parameters after the original request has completed successfully, the result of the original request is returned.

Important

This token is listed as required, however, if you do not specify it, the AWS SDKs automatically generate one for you. If you are not using the AWS SDK or the AWS CLI, you must provide this token or the request will fail.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

Required: Yes

LensAlias

The alias of the lens.

For AWS official lenses, this is either the lens alias, such as serverless, or the lens ARN, such as arn:aws:wellarchitected:us-east-1::lens/serverless. Note that some operations (such as ExportLens and CreateLensShare) are not permitted on AWS official lenses.

For custom lenses, this is the lens ARN, such as arn:aws:wellarchitected:us-west-2:123456789012:lens/0123456789abcdef01234567890abcdef.

Each lens is identified by its LensSummary:LensAlias.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 128.

Required: Yes

LensStatus

The status of the lens to be deleted.

Valid Values: ALL | DRAFT | PUBLISHED

Required: Yes
