Procedure

Perform the following steps to delete the associated resources and the load balancer. Skip the corresponding step if the associated resources do not exist. For example, you can skip 1 if no health check is configured.

  1. Delete the health check configured for each associated backend server group.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/healthmonitors/{healthmonitor_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, and healthmonitor_id indicates the health check ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  2. Remove backend servers from each associated backend server group.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/pools/{pool_id}/members/{member_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, pool_id indicates the backend server group ID, and member_id indicates the backend server ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  3. Delete each associated backend server group.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/pools/{pool_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, and pool_id indicates the backend server group ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  4. Delete the forwarding rules added to each listener.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/l7policies/{policy_id}/rules/{rule_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, policy_id indicates the forwarding policy ID, and rule_id indicates the forwarding rule ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  5. Delete the forwarding policies added to each listener.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/l7policies/{policy_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, and policy_id indicates the forwarding policy ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  6. Delete each listener added to the load balancer.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elb/listeners/{listener_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, and listener_id indicates the listener ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.

  7. Delete the load balancer.

    1. Send DELETE https://{elb_endpoint}/v3/{project_id}/elbloadbalancers/{loadbalancer_id}. project_id indicates the project ID, and loadbalancer_id indicates the load balancer ID.

    2. Add X-Auth-Token to the request header.

    3. Check the response.
