## Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).
** ClusterNotFoundException **
The specified cluster wasn't found. You can view your available clusters with [ListClusters](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_ListClusters.html). Amazon ECS clusters are Region specific.
** message **
Message that describes the cause of the exception.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** InvalidParameterException **
The specified parameter isn't valid. Review the available parameters for the API request.
For more information about service event errors, see [Amazon ECS service event messages](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/service-event-messages-list.html).
** message **
Message that describes the cause of the exception.
HTTP Status Code: 400
** TargetNotFoundException **
The specified target wasn't found. You can view your available container instances with [ListContainerInstances](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/APIReference/API_ListContainerInstances.html). Amazon ECS container instances are cluster-specific and Region-specific.

## Examples
In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents (`AUTHPARAMS`) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information, see [Signature Version 4 Signing Process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) in the * AWS General Reference*.
You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to create them manually. When you use the [AWS Command Line Interface](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you, with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't have to sign requests yourself.
### Example
This example deletes an attribute with the name `stack` from a container instance.
