Cancel an instance refresh using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI - Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

Cancel an instance refresh using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI

You can cancel an instance refresh that is still in progress. You can't cancel it after it's finished.

Canceling an instance refresh does not roll back any instances that were already replaced. To roll back the changes to your instances, perform a rollback instead. For more information, see Undo changes with a manual or auto rollback.
