   Table 1 Parameters for modifying an endpoint group

   Parameter	Description
   Name	Name of the endpoint group. Each listener can be associated with only one endpoint group in a given region. Only letters, digits, and hyphens (-) are allowed. Enter 1 to 64 characters.
   Description	Supplementary information about the endpoint group. Enter up to 255 characters.
   Traffic Dial	The percentage of traffic directed to each endpoint group. If you increase the traffic dial, more requests will be distributed to this endpoint group. If you set the traffic dial to 0, no requests will be distributed to this endpoint group. Value range: 0 to 100 NOTE: If a listener has multiple endpoint groups, traffic will be first distributed to the endpoint group with the lowest latency and then to other endpoint groups based on the traffic dial value you set.

8. Click OK.

Deleting an Endpoint Group

You can delete an endpoint group if you no longer need it.

After the endpoint group is deleted, the global accelerator will no longer forward requests to it.

If the endpoint group has endpoints or health check configured, you need to remove the endpoints and delete the health check before deleting the endpoint group.
