 ** type **   <a name="imagebuilder-Type-LifecyclePolicyDetailAction-type"></a>
Specifies the lifecycle action to take. `DELETE` deletes the image resource and, with `includeResources`, also removes distributed AMIs, snapshots, or container images. `DEPRECATE` and `DISABLE` set the corresponding status on the image resource and, if `includeResources.amis` is set, on its distributed AMIs.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `DELETE | DEPRECATE | DISABLE`   
Required: Yes

 ** includeResources **   <a name="imagebuilder-Type-LifecyclePolicyDetailAction-includeResources"></a>
Specifies which underlying resources the action extends to beyond the Image Builder image resource itself: distributed AMIs, their snapshots, or distributed container images. `DELETE` rules can include all three, `DEPRECATE` and `DISABLE` rules can include AMIs only, and you can only include snapshots together with AMIs.  
Type: [LifecyclePolicyDetailActionIncludeResources](API_LifecyclePolicyDetailActionIncludeResources.md) object
