**Example 1: To delete a capacity provider using the Amazon Resource Name (ARN)** The following ``delete-capacity-provider`` example deletes a capacity provider by specifying the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the capacity provider. The ARN as well as the status of the capacity provider deletion can be retrieved using the ``describe-capacity-providers`` command. :: aws ecs delete-capacity-provider \ --capacity-provider arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider Output:: { "capacityProvider": { "capacityProviderArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider", "name": "ExampleCapacityProvider", "status": "ACTIVE", "autoScalingGroupProvider": { "autoScalingGroupArn": "arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup", "managedScaling": { "status": "ENABLED", "targetCapacity": 100, "minimumScalingStepSize": 1, "maximumScalingStepSize": 10000 }, "managedTerminationProtection": "DISABLED" }, "updateStatus": "DELETE_IN_PROGRESS", "tags": [] } } For more information, see `Cluster capacity providers <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/cluster-capacity-providers.html>`__ in the *Amazon ECS Developer Guide*. **Example 2: To delete a capacity provider using the name** The following ``delete-capacity-provider`` example deletes a capacity provider by specifying the short name of the capacity provider. The short name as well as the status of the capacity provider deletion can be retrieved using the ``describe-capacity-providers`` command. :: aws ecs delete-capacity-provider \ --capacity-provider ExampleCapacityProvider Output:: { "capacityProvider": { "capacityProviderArn": "arn:aws:ecs:us-west-2:123456789012:capacity-provider/ExampleCapacityProvider", "name": "ExampleCapacityProvider", "status": "ACTIVE", "autoScalingGroupProvider": { "autoScalingGroupArn": "arn:aws:autoscaling:us-west-2:123456789012:autoScalingGroup:a1b2c3d4-5678-90ab-cdef-EXAMPLE11111:autoScalingGroupName/MyAutoScalingGroup", "managedScaling": { "status": "ENABLED", "targetCapacity": 100, "minimumScalingStepSize": 1, "maximumScalingStepSize": 10000 }, "managedTerminationProtection": "DISABLED" }, "updateStatus": "DELETE_IN_PROGRESS", "tags": [] } } For more information, see `Cluster capacity providers <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/cluster-capacity-providers.html>`__ in the *Amazon ECS Developer Guide*.
