Is it possible that while dask-ec2 destroy terminates instances it leaves volumes running? This might result in unexpected costs to users. If this is the case is there a robust way to terminate volumes as well?

koverholt commented 7 years ago

The AMI that is specified will have a default Delete on Termination setting, but it might also be possible to specify this to always be true by default? We do this for a specific device here, but I'm not sure this can be generalized to any device for any AMI.

OK, good to know. Thanks for clarifying @koverholt
