So, we're happy ! (hopefully ?)
And we have finished our tests or game session...
And we have disconnected our VPN client connection...
So, what do we do now ?...
Ok, but why ???
Well, because :
when we are not hosting a game, we don't need it
if we are out of the Free Tier bounds, we want to keep our costs as low as possible
we'll be sure we can re-create our environment in a matter of minutes in the unlikely event of catastrophic failure
it is a good starting point to explore, later on, the for the long term.
So we go to the EC2 Console -> Instances and we "Terminate" our instance :
A quick confirmation dialog, and then our instance goes...
And after about 1 minute...
From that point, it is as if it had never existed...and after some time (1H or so ?) it will have completely disappeared from your EC2 console.
