5.2.15 Delete a virtual server
Function
This plugin can delete instances from an Amazon EC2 environment. The plugin can also delete all network interfaces connected to the instance.
The required server is shown as follows:
- AWS control server (execution-target server)
This is a server on which AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell (hereinafter referred to "AWS Tools") is installed. This product can forward plugins to the server to be executed.
- Instance
This is a regular virtual server in an Amazon EC2 environment.
The scripts in this plugin execute the following AWS Tools commandlets:
(1) Deleting an instance
- Stop-EC2Instance -Instance instance-ID (the value of the AWS.instanceId property)
-Terminate
-Force
After executing the above commandlets, make sure that the status of the deleted instance is "terminated".
(2) Deleting all network interfaces connected to the instance.
- Remove-EC2NetworkInterface -NetworkInterfaceId network-interface-ID-obtained-by-Get-EC2Instance-commandlet
-Force
After executing the above commandlets, make sure that the deleted network interfaces do not exist.
For details about the AWS Tools commandlets, refer to "AWS Tools for Windows PowerShell Cmdlet Reference" in the AWS document.
