Remove a standard endpoint - AWS Global Accelerator

Remove a standard endpoint

This section explains how to remove an endpoint on the AWS Global Accelerator console. If you want to use API operations with AWS Global Accelerator, see the AWS Global Accelerator API Reference.

You can remove endpoints from your endpoint groups, for example, if you need to service your endpoints. Removing an endpoint takes it out of the endpoint group, so that it no longer receives traffic through Global Accelerator, but does not affect the endpoint otherwise. Global Accelerator stops directing traffic to an endpoint as soon as you remove it from an endpoint group. The endpoint goes into a state where it waits for all current requests to be completed so there's no interruption for client traffic that is in progress. You can add the endpoint back to the endpoint group when you’re ready for it to resume receiving requests.

Note: Before you terminate or delete a resource that you've added as an endpoint behind an accelerator, we recommend that you remove the endpoint from Global Accelerator endpoint groups.

Warning

Removing an endpoint immediately stops new connections from being routed to it through Global Accelerator. If the endpoint is the only healthy target receiving traffic for your application, or all other endpoints have a weight of 0, when you remove the endpoint, the endpoint group (Region) might become unavailable. Before you remove an endpoint, verify that alternate healthy endpoints exist and are receiving traffic as expected.
