QUESTION
Why are there AWS resources after I de-provision an install?
ANSWER
This is normal operating behavior.
De-provisioning destroys the app's components and sandbox (e.g., Kubernetes) but not the runner.
The runner is created and destroyed by the CloudFormation stack. Delete the stack and the resources it creates will be deleted. e.g., VPC, subnets, IAM roles, and ASG EC2 VM.
