This topic describes how to release a classic network endpoint that is no longer required.
Prerequisites
A classic network endpoint is retained after you switch the network type of an instance from classic network to Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). For more information, see Switch the network type of an instance from classic network to VPC.
Procedure
Log on to the console and go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the instance is deployed. Then, find the instance and click its ID.
In the Connection Information section, click Change Expiration Date next to Classic Network Access.
In the dialog box that appears, select Release Now.
WarningA classic network endpoint immediately becomes unavailable after the endpoint is released. Before you release the classic network endpoint, change the classic network endpoint configured on your application to a virtual private cloud (VPC) endpoint to ensure service availability.
Click OK.
