Probably obeying the letter of the European Data Act, but obviously not great if true.
- LelouBil 3y agoNope > We don’t require you to close your account or change your relationship with AWS in any way. You’re welcome to come back at any time. We will, of course, apply additional scrutiny if the same AWS account applies multiple times for free DTO.
- Daviey 3y agoThen compare that statement with their FAQ,https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#Data_transfer_fees_when_moving_all_data_off_AWS https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/faqs/#Data_transfer_fees_when_mov... > After your move away from AWS services, within the 60-day period, you must delete all remaining data and workloads from your AWS account, or you can close your AWS account.
- rescbr 3y agoIf you manage to delete everything and make the billing to be zero dollars, then there's no need to close the account... In many cases, this is way harder than it sounds.
- renewiltord 3y agoIf someone manages that, they're a god.
- ralphist 3y agoBeginner here, but shouldn't `terraform destroy` make this very easy? Assuming you deploy everything with IaC.
- mhitza 3y agoThere can be resources created implicitly, even when using IaC tools. One example, create a lambda, without an explicit log group, one will be automatically created for you outside of the tracked state.
- ralphist 3y agoSo the lambda function will survive, but billing will still go to zero when the lambda's last execution finishes, right?
- easton 3y agoThe function would be destroyed (guessing running instances would finish their handlers and then no longer be accessible) but the log group it created would still be present, holding logs from the dead function.
- ralphist 3y agoThat sounds stupid, thanks. Guess I'll be careful when I set up lambdas.
- hiatus 3y agoIs this true? I know it's not true when using terraform for things like ECS. I suppose I can just test this myself.
- true_religion 3y agoI don’t think terraform will recursively delete everything in your S3 bucket.
- ralphist 3y agoIterate over all S3 buckets in your terraform files and add `force_destroy` to them [1], then apply and destroy. There could probably be an automated tool for this that wouldn't be too complex.

- bawolff 3y ago> Probably obeying the letter of the European Data Act, but obviously not great if true. Does it really matter? As long as they are upfront about the price and there is no vendor lock in, what's the big deal? AWS is overpriced - everyone knows that, but i don't think its morally wrong to be overpriced as long as you aren't deceptive about it.
- scarface_74 3y agoThis is addressed in the article. The answer is no.
