How do I shut down my Amazon Lightsail resources?

Resolution

To remove all your Lightsail resources, delete your Lightsail instances and the resources that are attached, such as static IP addresses, snapshots, or block storage.

Lightsail resources are billed an on-demand hourly rate. After you delete all your Lightsail resources, you receive no further billing that's related to Lightsail. For information about Lightsail resource fees that you incur, see Frequently asked questions in Amazon Lightsail.

To delete your Lightsail resources, take the following actions:

• Delete your Lightsail instance.
• Delete your static IP addresses.
  Note: Other resources that rely on the static IP addresses might be affected, such as DNS records that reference your static IP address.
• Delete your database.
• Delete your domain's DNS zone.
• Delete disk snapshots.
  Note: To restore a disk, retain only the most recent disk snapshot. To reduce charges, remove outdated snapshots. To prevent charges, delete all snapshots.
• Detach and delete your block storage disk.
  Note: Before you detach and delete your disk, you must stop or terminate your instance.
• Delete your Lightsail load balancer.
• Delete SSL/TLS certificates that you no longer use. 
• Turn off VPC peering. Complete the following steps: 
  Open the Lightsail console, and then in the navigation pane, choose Account.
  Choose Advanced.
  In the VPC peering section, clear Enable VPC peering for all AWS Regions.
