0 to 100 on AWS – Building a full stack web mapping application with PostGIS, GeoServer, OpenLayers and ReactJS

FOSS4G SotM Oceania - Afternoon Workshop #1 - 20th November 2018

8. (Optional) Remove AWS resources

If you wish to remove the resources created in this workshop, the fastest method is to delete the CloudFormation stacks.

Please be aware that if you do not delete or stop these resources, you will incur AWS charges over time.

To delete all resources created during this workshop, you can delete the CloudFormation stacks in reverse order:

1. Log in to the AWS console
2. Go to the CloudFormation service
3. Select the foss4g-oceania-workshop-admin stack
4. Select Actions > Delete Stack
5. Wait for the Delete Stack operation to indicate success
6. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for each of the geoserver, db, security-groups, and finally vpc stacks.

Alternatively if you wish to access these resources after the workshop, but don't want to pay for them to be running 24x7, you can stop the resources as follows:

1. Log in to the AWS console
2. Go to the EC2 service
3. Select Instances
4. Choose the foss4g-oceania-workshop-geoserver instance and the foss4g-oceania-workshop-admin instance.
5. Select Actions > Instance State > Stop
6. Confirm that you want to stop the instances
7. Go to the RDS service
8. Select Instances
9. Choose the foss4g-oceania-workshop instance
10. Select Instance actions > Stop

Please note that if you choose to stop the RDS instance, AWS may automatically restart the instance after 7 days. If you wish to retain the data in the database for later use, but avoid incurring RDS running costs, you can create a database snapshot and then terminate the RDS instance. You can then create a new RDS instance from the snapshot at any time.

You may also wish to delete the static website S3 bucket, or disable public read access to it.
