AWS - Terminate EC2 Instance

In this brief blog post I will show you how to terminate an EC2 instance. When you created the instance if you left the box checked to automatically delete the corresponding EBS storage volume then that will be deleted as well.





Select the EC2 instance you want to delete, click Actions, click Instance State then click Terminate


Review the warning message then click Yes, Terminate
Wait for the Instance State to change to terminated

That completes this tutorial. Please join me in the next blog post where we continue to explore AWS.
