Residual resources after deleting replication stack #26

Closed mvrogowski closed 8 years ago

mvrogowski commented 8 years ago

ECS' tasks, services and cluster weren't removed after deleting the replication stack.

Also, the Metadata table and all KCL checkpoint tables are still present.
None of these resources are created by the cloud formation stack though, so this is unfortunately, to be expected.

Hi,

As a part of the improvement process for cross-region replication library, we have refactored the library completely and released an updated version. You will find ECS and metadata table has been eliminated from the library altogether.

As for the KCL checkpoint table, it is intentional that this table is never automatically deleted since it is used for exact the purpose of failure recovery. By manually deleting the checkpoint table, users are actively choosing to delete all past replication progress.

Thank you!
