Section 6: Resource Cleanup

Delete the lab environment after completing the exercises to prevent unnecessary AWS charges.

6.1 Delete the CloudFormation Stack

1. Open the AWS CloudFormation console.

2. Select the stack created for your student account.

3. Select Delete.

4. Confirm the deletion.

5. Wait until the stack is removed from the active stack list or reaches:

   DELETE_COMPLETE

Important

Deleting the CloudFormation stack permanently removes the resources created by the template.

6.2 Verify Resource Removal

Confirm that the following lab resources have been removed:

• FortiGate EC2 instance
• Spoke EC2 instances
• Security and spoke VPCs
• AWS Transit Gateway and attachments
• Route tables created by the stack
• Network interfaces and public IP addresses created by the stack

WARNING

The EC2 key pair created manually in Section 1 is not normally deleted by the CloudFormation stack. Delete it manually when it is no longer required.
