Stopping an active autoshift or practice run for a resource

To stop an in-progress autoshift for a resource you must cancel the zonal shift.

Regular practice runs still take place for the resource, on the same schedule. If you want to stop practice runs in addition to disabling autoshifts, you must delete the practice run configuration associated with the resource.

When you delete a practice run configuration, Amazon stops performing practice runs that shift traffic for the resource away from an Availability Zone each week. In addition, because zonal autoshift requires practice runs, when you delete a practice run configuration using the ARC console, this action also disables zonal autoshift for the resource. However, note that if you use the zonal autoshift API to delete a practice run, you must first disable zonal autoshift for the resource.
