delete-function

Description

Deletes a Lambda function. To delete a specific function version, use the Qualifier parameter. Otherwise, all versions and aliases are deleted. This doesn't require the user to have explicit permissions for DeleteAlias .

To delete Lambda event source mappings that invoke a function, use DeleteEventSourceMapping . For Amazon Web Services services and resources that invoke your function directly, delete the trigger in the service where you originally configured it.

Options

--function-name (string)

The name or ARN of the Lambda function or version.

Name formats
  • Function name – my-function (name-only), my-function:1 (with version).
  • Function ARN – arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function .
  • Partial ARN – 123456789012:function:my-function .

You can append a version number or alias to any of the formats. The length constraint applies only to the full ARN. If you specify only the function name, it is limited to 64 characters in length.

--qualifier (string)

Specify a version to delete. You can't delete a version that an alias references.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To delete a Lambda function by function name

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's name.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name my-function

This command produces no output.

Example 2: To delete a Lambda function by function ARN

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's ARN.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function

This command produces no output.

Example 3: To delete a Lambda function by partial function ARN

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's partial ARN.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name 123456789012:function:my-function

This command produces no output.
