Deletes a single external IP address. When you delete an external IP address, connectivity between the external IP address and the corresponding internal IP address is lost.
Required. The resource name of the external IP address to delete. Resource names are schemeless URIs that follow the conventions in https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names. For example: projects/my-project/locations/us-central1-a/privateClouds/my-cloud/externalAddresses/my-ip
Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource name:
vmwareengine.externalAddresses.delete
Query parameters
Parameters
requestId
string
Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server guarantees that a request doesn't result in creation of duplicate commitments for at least 60 minutes.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if the original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
Request body
The request body must be empty.
Response body
If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.
