Deleting an auto scaling policy from your Amazon Aurora DB cluster

You can delete a scaling policy using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, the Amazon CLI, or the Application Auto Scaling API.

You can delete a scaling policy by using the Amazon Web Services Management Console.

To delete an auto scaling policy for an Aurora DB cluster

  1. Sign in to the Amazon Web Services Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/rds/.

  2. In the navigation pane, choose Databases.

  3. Choose the Aurora DB cluster whose auto scaling policy you want to delete.

  4. Choose the Logs & events tab.

  5. In the Auto scaling policies section, choose the auto scaling policy, and then choose Delete.

To delete a scaling policy from your Aurora DB cluster, use the delete-scaling-policy Amazon CLI command with the following parameters:

  • --policy-name – The name of the scaling policy.

  • --resource-id – The resource identifier for the Aurora DB cluster. For this parameter, the resource type is cluster and the unique identifier is the name of the Aurora DB cluster, for example cluster:myscalablecluster.

  • --service-namespace – Set this value to rds.

  • --scalable-dimension – Set this value to rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount.

In the following example, you delete a target-tracking scaling policy named myscalablepolicy from an Aurora DB cluster named myscalablecluster.

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:


aws application-autoscaling delete-scaling-policy \
    --policy-name myscalablepolicy \
    --resource-id cluster:myscalablecluster \
    --service-namespace rds \
    --scalable-dimension rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount \

For Windows:


aws application-autoscaling delete-scaling-policy ^
    --policy-name myscalablepolicy ^
    --resource-id cluster:myscalablecluster ^
    --service-namespace rds ^
    --scalable-dimension rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount ^

To delete a scaling policy from your Aurora DB cluster, use the DeleteScalingPolicy the Application Auto Scaling API operation with the following parameters:

  • PolicyName – The name of the scaling policy.

  • ServiceNamespace – Set this value to rds.

  • ResourceID – The resource identifier for the Aurora DB cluster. For this parameter, the resource type is cluster and the unique identifier is the name of the Aurora DB cluster, for example cluster:myscalablecluster.

  • ScalableDimension – Set this value to rds:cluster:ReadReplicaCount.

In the following example, you delete a target-tracking scaling policy named myscalablepolicy from an Aurora DB cluster named myscalablecluster with the Application Auto Scaling API.
