Please note: the steps described here assume that the AWS instance and its resources are dedicated to the Charon-SSP installation that is to be removed and are not used for any other important applications.
If you want to completely remove Charon-SSP from the AWS environment and free up all resources used by it, you must perform several steps:
- Cleanly shutdown any running guest operating systems.
- Stop the emulator.
- Back up any emulator data (configuration, vdisks, vtapes, ISO files, and any other customized emulator and instance settings) that you want to keep and copy the data to an non-AWS resource.
- Delete all AWS resources associated with the AWS instance that was used for the emulator. This includes the AWS instance itself, any additional storage associated with it, any static IP addresses allocated to it, associated vNICs, etc.
