DeleteLoadBalancer

Description

This API deletes the specified LoadBalancer. On deletion, all of the configured properties of the LoadBalancer will be deleted. If you attempt to recreate the LoadBalancer, you need to reconfigure all the settings. The DNS name associated with a deleted LoadBalancer is no longer be usable. Once deleted, the name and associated DNS record of the LoadBalancer no longer exist and traffic sent to any of its IP addresses will no longer be delivered to your instances. You will not get the same DNS name even if you create a new LoadBalancer with same LoadBalancerName.

To successfully call this API, you must provide the same account credentials as those that were used to create the LoadBalancer.

	Note
	Because this API has been designed to be idempotent, even if the LoadBalancer does not exist or has been deleted, DeleteLoadBalancer still returns a success.
