Task 10: (Optional) Clean Up Resources

After you've finished with the resources you created for this tutorial, you can delete and release the resources you no longer plan to use.

Perform the following tasks in the order listed:

10-1: Detach and Delete the Block Volume

After you detach a block volume, you can delete it as long as the volume isn't attached to any other instances.

Caution

You can't undo a termination. Any data on a volume is permanently deleted when the volume is deleted.

  1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select Compute, then select Instances.

  2. Select the Sandbox compartment.

  3. Select the name of your instance.

  4. In the Resources panel, select Attached Block Volumes.

  5. Find your volume, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), then select Detach. Confirm the detachment.

    You might need to refresh the web page to see that the block volume is no longer attached.

  6. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select Block Storage, then select Block Volumes.

  7. Select the Sandbox compartment.

  8. Find your volume, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), and then select Terminate. Confirm the termination.

Perform the next task:

10-2: Terminate the Instance

10-2: Terminate the Instance

You can permanently terminate (delete) instances that you no longer need. Any attached VNICs and boot volumes are automatically detached when the instance terminates. Eventually, the instance's public and private IP addresses are released and become available for other instances.

  1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select Compute, then select Instances.

  2. Select the Sandbox compartment.

  3. Find the instance you created, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), then select Terminate.

  4. In the Confirm Instances termination dialog box, move the Permanently delete the attached boot volume selector to the right, and select Confirm.

    Moving the selector to the right results in the boot volume being permanently deleted, which is appropriate for this tutorial.

    In production, you can leave the selector in the left position to preserve the boot volume for use with another instance. This is convenient when you want to reuse a configured OS or data on the boot volume.

Perform the next task:

10-3: Delete the Subnet, Internet Gateway, and VCN

10-3: Delete the Subnet, Internet Gateway, and VCN

You can delete networking resources as long as the resource doesn't have any dependencies.

  • Subnets: Must be empty (for example, no instance VNICs or route rules).
  • VCNs: Must be empty and have no related resources or attached gateways (for example, no internet gateway, dynamic routing gateway, and so on).
  1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select Networking, then select Virtual Cloud Networks.

  2. Select the Sandbox compartment.

  3. Select the name of your VCN.

  4. Under Resources, select Route Tables.

  5. Select the name of the route table.

  6. For the route rule you created, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), select Delete, and confirm the deletion.

    The route rule is deleted.

  7. In the breadcrumb path at the top of the page, select the name of your VCN.

    The VCN details page is displayed.

  8. Under Resources, select Internet Gateways.

  9. For the internet gateway that you created, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), then select Delete, and confirm the deletion.

    The internet gateway is deleted.

  10. Under Resources, select Subnets.

  11. For the subnet you created, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), then select Delete, and confirm the deletion.

    The subnet is deleted.

  12. At the top of the VCN details page, select Terminate and confirm the termination.

    The VCN is deleted.

Perform the next task:

10-4: Delete the Compartment

10-4: Delete the Compartment

You must remove all resources from a compartment before you can delete it, otherwise, the delete action fails and the compartment returns to an active state.

Note

On Compute Cloud@Customer, IAM resources such as compartments are managed in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), and synchronized to Compute Cloud@Customer.

  1. Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Console in OCI using your federated identity credentials.

    For more information, see Sign In to the Console.

  2. In the Oracle Cloud Console navigation menu, select Identity & Security, then under Identity, select Compartments.

  3. For the Sandbox compartment, select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), and then select Delete.

  4. Confirm the deletion.

This concludes the tutorial.
