Step 11 (Optional): Clean Up - AWS OpsWorks

Step 11 (Optional): Clean Up

Important

The AWS OpsWorks Stacks service reached end of life on May 26, 2024 and has been disabled for both new and existing customers. We strongly recommend customers migrate their workloads to other solutions as soon as possible. If you have questions about migration, reach out to the AWS Support Team on AWS re:Post or through AWS Premium Support.

To prevent incurring additional charges to your AWS account, you can delete the app and the AWS resources that were used for this walkthrough, including the instance and the AWS OpsWorks Stacks stack. (For more information, see AWS OpsWorks Pricing.) However, you might want to keep using these AWS resources as you continue to learn more about AWS OpsWorks Stacks. If you want to keep these AWS resources available, you have now completed this walkthrough, and you can skip to Next Steps.
