Tell us about your request What do you want us to build? Attempted to delete an unused VPC Connector through the AWS CLI and the error message received is unhelpful

PAGER= 
aws apprunner list-services
{
    "ServiceSummaryList": []
}

aws apprunner delete-vpc-connector --vpc-connector-arn <REDACTED>

An error occurred (InvalidRequestException) when calling the DeleteVpcConnector operation: Provided VPC connector arn is being used by other services. ARN:  <REDACTED>

Details as to which "other services" are still using the connector would help users understand how to resolve the issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered Deleting through the AWS Console equally produces an unhelpful error message:

Failed to delete VPC Connector
Provided VPC connector arn is being used by other services. ARN: <REDACTED>

Additional context Anything else we should know? To clarify, this issue seems to occur after deleting an AppRunner service that previously have this VPC connector attached.

Hi @emilhdiaz, I work for App Runner service team and we will be happy to help you with this issue. Can you please provide the VPC connector ARN so we can help you out on this? Thanks

Hi @hariohmprasath,

Thanks for the help! Sure thing there are two of them:

arn:aws:apprunner:us-east-2:265941575127:vpcconnector/dev01-valtio-api-vpc-connector/1/9648e87f03da4f1da59de08117141785

arn:aws:apprunner:us-east-2:265941575127:vpcconnector/dev01-valtio-api-egress-connection/1/9ffce5c538c54e18b855fb8d031f59c4

Hi @emilhdiaz, Sorry for the inconvenience caused, we have resolved the issue on our end, can you please retry now? Thanks

[emilhdiaz]

@hariohmprasath I can confirm that I was now able to delete those two VPC connectors. Thank you very much!

Out of curiosity, was the resolution here specific to these two VPC connectors or will it also prevent this from occurring in the future? Reason I ask is because I am trying to Terraform these resources and thus resources getting stuck and not being able to delete are problematic for maintaining Terraform state.

Hello @hariohmprasath I seem to be having the same issue with one of my app runner services, looks like I can't delete the app runner service with the following error in the aws console: You cannot delete a Service while it has VpcIngressConnections with a status of FAILED_CREATION.

I am having the same issue here. @hariohmprasath hariohmprasath even though a vpc-connector is disconnected from a particular service in apprunner, it is still undeletable. If I delete the service (that is no longer connected), then it becomes deletable. This is inconvenient.

same issue here. have to delete app runner service before i can delete the vpc connector

Any updates here? Will I need to delete my app runner service before I can delete a vpc connector?

Update: I got it resolved, you have to delete the vpc endpoint via the AWS cli with a specific way you call the cli, the docs might have been updated since I posted this so hopefully following the docs for deleting a vpc endpoint via cli will help you resolve it

[kyle-eastcode]

@qwatts-dev yes deleting the service might work, or if you can't delete it, you might have delete the vpc endpoint manually via the AWS cli
