Cancel an instance refresh using the Amazon Web Services Management Console or Amazon CLI

Canceling an instance refresh does not roll back any instances that were already replaced. To roll back the changes to your instances, perform a rollback instead. For more information, see Undo changes with a manual or auto rollback.
