Get started with Pulumi and AWS

Clean up and destroy the stack

To finish the tutorial, clean up all the resources you created.

Run the pulumi destroy command to delete all cloud resources in the stack:

$ pulumi destroy

> pulumi destroy

Just like pulumi up, pulumi destroy shows you a preview so you can confirm that you want to proceed:

Previewing destroy (dev):

     Type                                    Name                 Status
 -   pulumi:pulumi:Stack                     quickstart-dev       delete
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketObject                  index.html           delete
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketOwnershipControls       ownership-controls   delete
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketPublicAccessBlock       public-access-block  delete
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketWebsiteConfiguration    website              delete
 -   └─ aws:s3:Bucket                        my-bucket            delete

Outputs:
  - bucketEndpoint: "http://my-bucket-dfd6bd0.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
  - bucketName    : "my-bucket-dfd6bd0"

Resources:
    - 6 to delete

Do you want to perform this destroy?
> yes
  no
  details

As with an update, you can choose no or details. Select yes to proceed:

Destroying (dev):

     Type                                    Name                 Status
 -   pulumi:pulumi:Stack                     quickstart-dev       deleted (0.31s)
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketObject                  index.html           deleted (1s)
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketPublicAccessBlock       public-access-block  deleted (0.67s)
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketWebsiteConfiguration    website              deleted (0.88s)
 -   ├─ aws:s3:BucketOwnershipControls       ownership-controls   deleted (1s)
 -   └─ aws:s3:Bucket                        my-bucket            deleted (0.58s)

Outputs:
  - bucketEndpoint: "http://my-bucket-dfd6bd0.s3-website-us-east-1.amazonaws.com"
  - bucketName    : "my-bucket-dfd6bd0"

Resources:
    - 6 deleted

Duration: 4s

At this stage, your stack still exists, but all cloud resources have been deleted from it.

Remove the stack

The final step is to remove the stack itself. pulumi destroy keeps the stack around so that you still have the full history of what happened to the stack. Running pulumi stack rm deletes it entirely, including all history and state snapshots. Be careful: this step can’t be undone!

$ pulumi stack rm

> pulumi stack rm

You’ll be prompted to confirm the removal. Confirm it to successfully complete this tutorial.
