Auto Scaling：DeleteScalingGroup

Usage notes

Before you call the DeleteScalingGroup operation, take note of the following items:

• If you delete a scaling group, the scaling configurations, scaling rules, scaling activities, and scaling requests related to the scaling group are also deleted.

• If you delete a scaling group, the scheduled tasks and event-triggered tasks of the scaling group are not deleted. The load balancers and ApsaraDB RDS instances that are attached to the scaling group are also not deleted.

• If you enabled the Deletion Protection feature when you created a scaling group, you cannot delete the scaling group in the Auto Scaling console or by using this operation. The Deletion Protection feature helps prevent accidental deletion of scaling groups.

• If you enabled the Release Protection feature when you created an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance and you want to delete the scaling group that manages the ECS instance, Auto Scaling forcibly removes the ECS instance from the scaling group and releases all automatically created ECS instances together with the scaling group after you call this operation.

  Note

  Prior to deleting a scaling group, make sure that your ECS instances within the scaling group are safeguarded against unintended release. Even if you have already enabled the Release Protection feature for the ECS instances, you must manually put these ECS instances into the Protected state. Doing so guarantees that the ECS instances will not be forcibly released during the deletion process of the scaling group, providing an extra layer of security. For more information, see SetInstancesProtection.
