Getting Started with AWS
Build a Serverless Web Application
with AWS Lambda, Amazon API Gateway, AWS Amplify, Amazon DynamoDB, and Amazon Cognito
Module 5: Resource Cleanup
To finish this experiment, you will go through the steps to terminate all the resources you created throughout this tutorial
Resource cleanup
In this module, you will go through the steps to terminate all the resources you created throughout this tutorial. You will terminate your AWS Amplify app, an Amazon Cognito User Pool, an AWS Lambda function, an IAM role, a DynamoDB table, a REST API, and a CloudWatch Log. It is a best practice to delete resources you are no longer using to avoid unwanted charges.

Delete your CloudWatch Log
AWS Lambda automatically creates a new log group per function in Amazon CloudWatch Logs and writes logs to it when your function is invoked. You should delete the log group for the RequestUnicorn function. Also, if you launched any CloudFormation stacks, there may be log groups associated with custom resources in those stacks that you should delete.
a. From the AWS Console click Services then select CloudWatch under Management Tools.
b. Choose Logs in the navigation menu.
c. Select the /aws/lambda/RequestUnicorn log group. If you have many log groups in your account, you can type /aws/lambda/RequestUnicorn into the Filter text box to easily locate the log group.
d. Choose Delete log group from the Actions drop-down.
e. Choose Yes, Delete when prompted to confirm.
f. If you launched any CloudFormation templates to complete a module, repeat steps 3-5 for any log groups which begin with /aws/lambda/wildrydes-webapp.
