Remediation

Consider whether the load balancer is still needed.

• If the load balancer is needed for future use or is temporarily inactive, configure it properly by adding listeners and registering healthy targets.
• If the load balancer is no longer needed, delete it to stop incurring unnecessary charges.

Delete the Load Balancer

From Command Line

• For Application, Network, or Gateway Load Balancers (elbv2):

aws elbv2 delete-load-balancer --load-balancer-arn {{load-balancer-arn}}

• For Classic Load Balancers (elb):

aws elb delete-load-balancer --load-balancer-name {{load-balancer-name}}

Note: After deletion, confirm that no resources are still pointing to the removed load balancer to avoid service disruptions.
