DeleteNetworkConnector

Initiates deletion of a network connector. The connector transitions to DELETING state while elastic network interfaces are cleaned up asynchronously. After deletion completes, subsequent calls to GetNetworkConnector return ResourceNotFoundException.

This operation is idempotent — calling delete on a connector that is already deleting or has been deleted succeeds without error. You can delete connectors in ACTIVE or FAILED states. Before deleting a connector, ensure that no Lambda MicroVMs are using it, as they will lose VPC egress connectivity immediately.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 140.

Name

The name of the network connector.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 140.

Pattern: (arn:aws[a-zA-Z-]*:lambda:(eusc-)?[a-z]{2}((-gov)|(-iso([a-z]?)))?-[a-z]+-\d{1}:\d{12}:network-connector:[a-zA-Z0-9-_]+(:[1-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)?)|[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{1,64}
