Deploy Drupal with Amazon RDS
TUTORIAL
Module 5: Clean up and next steps
To finish this experiment, you will clean up the resources created in this lab
Overview
In this lab, you created a Drupal site using Amazon EC2. Your Drupal site is using a relational database from Amazon RDS. Amazon RDS is a fully-managed database service that handles scaling, backups, disaster recovery, and more for six different relational database engines.
As you make your Drupal site ready for production usage, there are a number of AWS tools you can use, including:
- Amazon Route53 for putting a custom domain name on your Drupal web site;
- Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) for handling uploaded files
In the steps below, you will clean up the resource created by this lab so that you won’t incur AWS charges.
