DeleteScalingConfiguration - Auto Scaling - Alibaba Cloud Documentation Center

Deletes a scaling configuration. If a scaling configuration is in the Inactive state and your scaling group contains no Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instances created from the scaling configuration, you can call the DeleteScalingConfiguration operation to delete the scaling configuration. This serves to efficiently block any unnecessary utilization of the scaling configuration quota.

Usage notes

You cannot delete a scaling configuration in one of the following scenarios:

The scaling configuration in your scaling group is in the Active state.
The scaling group contains ECS instances that were created from the scaling configuration.
