Cleanup Process

After completing the workshop, it’s important to remove all AWS resources to prevent unexpected charges. Follow these steps in sequence:

1. Empty Amazon S3 Buckets

Before tearing down your CloudFormation stacks or CDK apps, you must empty every S3 bucket. AWS will not delete buckets that contain objects.

1. Open the Amazon S3 console.
2. Select each workshop bucket.
3. Click Empty.
4. Type permanently delete and confirm.

Repeat for all seven buckets.

2. Delete RDS Snapshots

Remove any manual snapshots of your Aurora database. Retained snapshots prevent the CloudFormation stack from deleting the database instances.

1. Go to the Amazon RDS console.
2. Choose Snapshots in the navigation pane.
3. Select each manual snapshot and delete.

3. Destroy CDK Stacks

With buckets and snapshots removed, destroy your CDK-managed stacks:

cd ~/environment/workshopfiles/fis-workshop/intro-experiment/cdk
cdk destroy --all \
  --context admin_role_arn=$KS_ADMIN_ARN \
  --context dashboard_role_arn=$CONSOLE_ROLE_ARN \
  --require-approval never

When prompted, type y to confirm. For more details, see the AWS CDK CLI Reference.

4. Remove Manual Auto Scaling Resources

If you created an Auto Scaling group and launch template manually, delete them now.

1. Navigate to the Auto Scaling Groups console.
2. Select the group (e.g., in the Tokyo region).
3. Click Delete, then type delete to confirm.

4. Finally, delete the associated launch template to terminate any remaining EC2 instances.

5. Delete CloudWatch Log Group

Remove the CloudWatch Logs group created during the workshop.

1. Open the CloudWatch console.
2. Click Log groups.
3. Select your log group, then choose Actions → Delete log group.

With these steps complete, all workshop resources are cleaned up.
