Use DeleteScalingPolicy with an Amazon SDK or CLI

To delete a scaling policy

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

Command:

aws application-autoscaling delete-scaling-policy --policy-name web-app-cpu-lt-25 --scalable-dimension ecs:service:DesiredCount --resource-id service/default/web-app --service-namespace ecs
