This topic describes how to delete a Fargate profile. When you delete a Fargate profile, any Pods that were scheduled onto Fargate with the profile are deleted. If those Pods match another Fargate profile, then they’re scheduled on Fargate with that profile. If they no longer match any Fargate profiles, then they aren’t scheduled onto Fargate and might remain as pending.

Only one Fargate profile in a cluster can be in the DELETING status at a time. Wait for a Fargate profile to finish deleting before you can delete any other profiles in that cluster.

You can delete a profile with any of the following tools:

eksctl
