Clean up of residual AWS resources when deleting a DB workspace

When deleting a workspace from the Databricks Accounts Console, I noticed the AWS resources (VPC, NAT, etc.) are not removed. Should they be? And if not, is there a clean/simple way of cleaning up the residual AWS resources?

Hi @Brad Franklin , from my knowledge I would say there is no such option in Databricks to clean up the resources. The reason is there are possibilities that the VPC could be shared by other resources. If deleting Databricks workspace cleans the AWS resources, then the shared resources will be broken. To avoid such inconvenience this is not available. You might need to manually do a cleanup.

Thank you Prabakar - that's what I figured but didn't know if there was documentation on resource cleanup. I'll just go through and find everything the CF stack created and remove them.
