deleteTrafficPolicy

Deletes a traffic policy.

When you delete a traffic policy, Route 53 sets a flag on the policy to indicate that it has been deleted. However, Route 53 never fully deletes the traffic policy. Note the following:

  • Deleted traffic policies aren't listed if you run ListTrafficPolicies.

  • There's no way to get a list of deleted policies.

  • If you retain the ID of the policy, you can get information about the policy, including the traffic policy document, by running GetTrafficPolicy.
