How can I delete an Amazon VPC link for my Amazon Gateway REST API?

Short description

If a resource using the Amazon VPC link integration is deleted, then you can't delete the link.

Resolution

To delete the Amazon VPC link, follow these steps depending on whether the REST API was or was not deployed.

Deployed REST APIs

Switch the integration type from the Amazon VPC link to another type. For example, a mock integration, HTTP integration, or AWS integration type. After switching the integration type, redeploy the REST API to the same stage name that you previously deployed. Then, try deleting the Amazon VPC link again.

Undeployed REST APIs

Switch the integration type from the Amazon VPC link to another type. For example, a mock integration, HTTP integration, or AWS integration type. Then, try deleting the Amazon VPC link again.
