Build an Application Using a NoSQL Key-Value Data Store

GETTING STARTED GUIDE

Module 5: Cleanup and next steps

Clean up the resources created in this tutorial and check out additional information to learn more

Introduction

You have now completed this guide, but you still need to clean up the resources created during this guide. If your account is still in the free tier, there will not be any monthly charges. Once out of the free tier, there will not be any cost if no API calls are made, only when you use the application. Please see the AWS DynamoDB Pricing page for the details

You will now remove your application, and all the resources created for it on AWS.

What You Will Learn

  • How to remove AWS resources created for tutorial

 Time to Complete

< 2 minutes

 Prerequisites

  • An AWS account: if you don't already have one, follow the Setting Up Your Environment getting started guide for a quick overview.
  • An installed version of the AWS SDK via pip install boto3

Implementation

Step: Delete your table

The following code will delete the Books table used for the tutorial. 

import boto3

client = boto3.client('dynamodb', region_name='us-east-1')

try:
    resp = client.delete_table(
        TableName="\"Books\",
    )
    print("Table deleted successfully!")
except Exception as e:
    print("Error deleting table:")
    print(e)
