Implementation

• Delete your Redis Cluster

  In order to delete your Redis Cluster, go to the ElastiCache Dashboard and follow these instructions:

  5.1 — Select “Redis” on the left pane.

  This will show you a list of all your Redis clusters.

  

  5.2 — Select the Redis Cluster you created for this tutorial.
  

  

  5.3 — Click on “Delete”.
  

  

  5.4 — You will be asked if you want to create a final backup.

  That’s usually a good idea, but it’s not necessary for this tutorial. Select “No” and click on “Delete”.

  The status of your cluster will change to “deleting”.
  

  

• Delete your MySQL database

  5.5 — Navigate to Amazon RDS console and select “Databases” on the left pane.
  

  

  5.6 — Select the database you created (i.e., “database-1”).
  

  

  5.7 — Click on “Actions” and select “Delete”.
  

  

  5.8 — You will be asked if you want to create a final backup.

  That’s usually a good idea, but it’s not necessary for this tutorial. Uncheck the box for “Create final snapshot”.
  

  

  5.9 — Check the box for “I acknowledge…”, type “delete me”, and click “Delete”.
