DeleteScalingPolicy - Application Auto Scaling
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

DeleteScalingPolicy

Deletes the specified scaling policy for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Deleting a step scaling policy deletes the underlying alarm action, but does not delete the CloudWatch alarm associated with the scaling policy, even if it no longer has an associated action.

For more information, see Delete a step scaling policy and Delete a target tracking scaling policy in the Application Auto Scaling User Guide.

InternalServiceException

The service encountered an internal error.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ObjectNotFoundException

The specified object could not be found. For any operation that depends on the existence of a scalable target, this exception is thrown if the scalable target with the specified service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension does not exist. For any operation that deletes or deregisters a resource, this exception is thrown if the resource cannot be found.

HTTP Status Code: 400

ValidationException

An exception was thrown for a validation issue. Review the available parameters for the API request.

HTTP Status Code: 400

Examples

If you plan to create requests manually, you must replace the Authorization header contents in the examples (AUTHPARAMS) with a signature. For more information, see Signature Version 4 Signing Process in the Amazon Web Services General Reference. If you plan to use the Amazon CLI or one of the Amazon SDKs, these tools sign the requests for you.

Example

The following example deletes a scaling policy for the Amazon ECS service web-app running in the default cluster.
