Deleting a rule group - Amazon Route 53

Deleting a rule group

To delete a rule group, perform the following procedure.

Important

If you delete a rule group that's associated with a VPC, DNS Firewall removes the association and stops the protections that the rule group was providing to the VPC.

Deleting DNS Firewall entities

When you delete an entity that you can use in DNS Firewall, like a domain list that might be in use in a rule group, or a rule group that might be associated with a VPC, DNS Firewall checks to see if the entity is currently being used. If it finds that it is in use, DNS Firewall warns you. DNS Firewall is almost always able to determine if an entity is in use. However, in rare cases it might not be able to do so. If you need to be sure that nothing is currently using the entity, check for it in your DNS Firewall configurations before deleting it. If the entity is a referenced domain list, check that no rule groups are using it. If the entity is a rule group, check that it is not associated with any VPCs.
