Uninstalling Resiliency Platform components when deployed through AWS Marketplace
When you deploy Resiliency Platform components through AWS Marketplace, a stack gets created in AWS environment for each offering that you use. For example, if you use Express install, one stack gets created and all the Resiliency Platform components are deployed in that stack. If you use Resiliency Manager offering to install additional Resiliency Manager, another stack gets created. If you use Replication Gateway offering to install additional Replication Gateway, one more stack gets created.
If at a later point of time, you want to uninstall all the Resiliency Platform components that were deployed through AWS Marketplace, you need to delete all these stacks individually. Once you delete the stacks, all the resources that were created during deployment automatically get deleted.
To delete a stack in AWS
- From the list of stacks in the AWS CloudFormation console, select the stack that you want to delete.
- Click Actions > Delete stack.
- When prompted, confirm that you want to delete the stack.
If you want to delete a stack created for Express install within 6 hours of creating the stack, you need to manually delete the Elastic Network Interface (ENI) associated with the security group that is attached with ZipFileUploaderLambda function. Rest of the stack gets deleted automatically when you perform Delete stack operation.
Note:
The NICs attached to Resiliency Platform virtual appliances that are deployed through the Marketplace will not be deleted automatically when the instances are deleted. They would need to be cleaned up manually after deletion.
