Deleting an AWS Stack

About this task

MapR resources in AWS are grouped together, making it easy for you to remove them. You can use the MapR Installer Destroy button to delete an AWS stack in one operation. The Destroy button appears when the MapR Installer detects cloud installations that were created using MapR scripts.

You can also use AWS menu commands to delete an AWS stack. Because the MapR stack is an Auto Scaling Group, deleting it using AWS menu commands requires some extra steps. First, you must disable certain AWS processes that protect against shutting down the stack. Then you must delete the stack.
