Is it possible to delete all the resources created by AWS CDK bootstrapping?

Question

I was playing with AWS CDK and now I want to clean it all.

Is it possible to delete all the resources (bucket, roles, whatever...) created by cdk bootstrap using a CDK command?

Should I do it manually? In this case, is there a way to know what exact resources CDK bootstrapping process did create?

Answer 1

Bootstrapping just deploys a Cloudformation stack - deleting the resources requires you to delete this stack. It's called CDKToolkit by default.

You will need to manually remove the S3 Asset bucket after emptying it, though.

The feature request to add a CDK CLI command for destroying the bootstrap stack is being tracked here: https://github.com/aws/aws-cdk/issues/986
