Delete your AWS custom cloud in Aiven |
Delete custom clouds |
Delete a custom cloud so that it's no longer available in your Aiven organization, units, or projects.
After deleting a custom cloud, the data co-hosted in this cloud will no longer be available from the Aiven platform. Before deleting your custom cloud, make sure there are no active services using this cloud.
The deletion impacts mostly resources on the Aiven site, such as cloud configuration files.
A bastion service and the corresponding EC2 instance are deleted as a consequence of your custom cloud's removal. As for resources created when applying the Terraform template to create the custom cloud, they are not removed after deleting your custom cloud. Unless you've removed them earlier, you're advised to do that if deleting your cloud.
