Cleanup instructions

Cleanup instructions

To remove all resources created by the AWS Built-in solution and avoid unexpected costs, follow these instructions. The cleanup process involves deleting the CloudFormation stack and all associated resources.

Deleting the CloudFormation stack

  1. Open the AWS CloudFormation console.
  2. Locate the stack created by the AWS Built-in solution.
  3. Choose Delete, and confirm the deletion.

CloudFormation automatically deletes all related resources.

Deleting additional resources

If you created additional resources outside of the CloudFormation stack, manually delete those resources. Additional resources typically include S3 buckets, IAM roles, and Lambda functions.

Deleting S3 buckets

  1. Navigate to the AWS S3 console.
  2. Locate the buckets created by the AWS Built-in solution and delete them.

Deleting IAM roles

  1. Navigate to AWS IAM console.
  2. Locate the roles created by the AWS Built-in solution and delete them.

Deleting Lambda functions

  1. Navigate to the AWS Lambda console.
  2. Locate the Lambda functions created by the AWS Built-in solution and delete them.

Deleting Previous ARN in CloudCheckr

  1. Navigate to the [CloudCheckr Account Management Console].
  2. Edit the credentialing field of the account and select “Delete” to remove the arn from the preexisting account.

Verifying resource deletions

In each service console, verify that all AWS Built-in resources are removed. If any resources remain, they may continue to incur costs.

Note: Avoid accidentally deleting important resources. Be sure that you delete only resources related to the AWS Built-in solution.
