Deleting an AS Group

Scenarios

You can delete an AS group when it is no longer required.

• If an AS group is not required during a specified period of time, you are advised to disable it but not delete it.
• For an AS group that has instances or ongoing scaling actions, if you attempt to forcibly delete the AS group and remove and delete the instances in the AS group, the AS group enters the deleting state, rejects new scaling requests, waits until the ongoing scaling action completes, and removes all instances from the AS group. Then, the AS group is automatically deleted. Instances automatically created are removed and deleted, but instances manually added are only removed out of the AS group. During this process, other operations cannot be performed in the AS group.
• When an AS group is deleted, its AS policies and the alarm rules generated based those AS policies will be automatically deleted.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Under Computing, click Auto Scaling. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Instance Scaling. Then click the AS Groups tab.
3. In the AS group list, locate the row containing the target AS group and choose More > Delete in the Operation column.
4. In the displayed Delete AS Group dialog box, click Yes.
