Why can't I delete my Subnet?

Why can't I delete my Subnet?

You attempted to delete your subnet, and received an error.

The following error message appeared when you attempted to delete a subnet:

Delete subnet error
Delete subnet error

When you create a pool and associate a health check to that pool, DNS Services automatically provisions an appliance that attaches to a network interface in your subnet.

To remove the subnet, first remove the health check configuration associated with your pool and then try deleting your subnet again.

To remove the health check, take the following steps:

  1. Navigate to Global load balancer > Origin pools.
  2. Click the overflow menu overflow menu and select Edit.
  3. In the side panel that appears, scroll to the Health monitoring section and select No health check from the menu.
  4. Click Save.

You do not need to delete the pool itself.
