release-ipam-pool-allocation

Description

Release an allocation within an IPAM pool. The Region you use should be the IPAM pool locale. The locale is the Amazon Web Services Region where this IPAM pool is available for allocations. You can only use this action to release manual allocations. To remove an allocation for a resource without deleting the resource, set its monitored state to false using ModifyIpamResourceCidr . For more information, see Release an allocation in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide .

Note

All EC2 API actions follow an eventual consistency model.

Options

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

A check for whether you have the required permissions for the action without actually making the request and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--ipam-pool-id (string)

The ID of the IPAM pool which contains the allocation you want to release.

--cidr (string)

The CIDR of the allocation you want to release.

--ipam-pool-allocation-id (string)

The ID of the allocation.

--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.

--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 .

To release an IPAM pool allocation

In this example, you're an IPAM delegated admin who tried to delete an IPAM pool but received an error that you cannot delete the pool while the pool has allocations. You are using this command to release a pool allocation.

Note the following:

  • You can only use this command for custom allocations. To remove an allocation for a resource without deleting the resource, set its monitored state to false using modify-ipam-resource-cidr.
  • To complete this request, you'll need the IPAM pool ID, which you can get with describe-ipam-pools. You'll also need the allocation ID, which you can get with get-ipam-pool-allocations.
  • If you do not want to remove allocations one by one, you can use the --cascade option when you delete an IPAM pool to automatically release any allocations in the pool before deleting it.
  • There are a number of prerequisites before running this command. For more information, see Release an allocation in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.
  • The --region in which you run this command must be the locale of the IPAM pool where the allocation is.

The following release-ipam-pool-allocation example releases an IPAM pool allocation.

aws ec2 release-ipam-pool-allocation \
    --ipam-pool-id ipam-pool-07bdd12d7c94e4693 \
    --cidr 10.0.0.0/23 \
    --ipam-pool-allocation-id ipam-pool-alloc-0e66a1f730da54791b99465b79e7d1e89 \
    --region us-west-1

Output:

{
    "Success": true
}

Once you release an allocation, you may want to run delete-ipam-pool.

Output

Success -> (boolean)

Indicates if the release was successful.
