Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Delete Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) using the AWS CLI


An Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) is typically used to load balance requests across two (or more) different EC2 instances. 

 

The aws elbv2 describe-load-balancers command can be used to list the Elastic Load Balancers that have been created. 

~]$ aws elbv2 describe-load-balancers
{
    "LoadBalancers": [
        {
            "LoadBalancerArn": "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:123456789012:loadbalancer/app/my-load-balancer/ffd90871234abcde",
            "DNSName": "my-load-balancer-371234535.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com",
            "CanonicalHostedZoneId": "Z35SXDOTRQ7X7K",
            "CreatedTime": "2023-03-28T01:23:28.410000+00:00",
            "LoadBalancerName": "my-load-balancer",
            "Scheme": "internet-facing",
            "VpcId": "vpc-014d2fcfa335d3c01",
            "State": {
                "Code": "active"
            },
            "Type": "application",
            "AvailabilityZones": [
                {
                    "ZoneName": "us-east-1b",
                    "SubnetId": "subnet-03f11411234f6abcd",
                    "LoadBalancerAddresses": []
                },
                {
                    "ZoneName": "us-east-1a",
                    "SubnetId": "subnet-03123451234f7ab34",
                    "LoadBalancerAddresses": []
                }
            ],
            "SecurityGroups": [
                "sg-0c3296123415abcd1"
            ],
            "IpAddressType": "ipv4"
        }
    ]
}
 

 

The aws elbv2 delete-load-balancer command can be used to delete a load balancer.

aws elbv2 delete-load-balancer --load-balancer-arn "arn:aws:elasticloadbalancing:us-east-1:123456789012:loadbalancer/app/my-load-balancer/ffd90871234abcde"
