If you manage to delete everything and make the billing to be zero dollars, then there's no need to close the account... In many cases, this is way harder than it sounds.
Beginner here, but shouldn't `terraform destroy` make this very easy? Assuming you deploy everything with IaC.

It gets to the meat and potatoes at the end. They were forced to do it, so they put a positive spin on it as if they're doing it out of the goodness of their heart. Still a positive, but man, that marketing messaging. I give props to the team who wrote that.
Googles equivalent announcement was all flowery bullshit making it seem like a voluntary action

So do we know how much are the egress costs for AWS? In other words how much AWS is overcharging? I guess they make every effort / creative bookkeeping trick to exaggerate their egress costs and it will take years until EU completes their investigation and fines them and more years until courts have had their final word.
I have seen a rack with power and 10Gig ethernet advertised for $700 per month; so my guess is that Amazon pays less than 25 cents per Mbps per month and in some cases, nothing.
> Over 90 percent of our customers already incur no data transfer expenses out of AWS because we provide 100 gigabytes per month free from AWS Regions to the internet. Damn, that's a lot of tiny customers. 100 GB per month is less than what many use on their phone during a month. So basically, most people using AWS is definitely people who don't need it to scale.
> The waiver on data transfer out to the internet charges also follows the direction set by the European Data Act and is available to all AWS customers around the world and from any AWS Region. Thank you, EU, on behalf of the rest of the world
Well waddya know... Looks like sometimes regulations do work better than the invisible hand of the free market. Reality: the invisible hand is simply a fist made up of all members of a cartel.
Is this AWS feeling pressure from GCP's similar move? https://www.cnbc.com/2024/01/11/google-vows-not-to-charge-da...

I specialize in Amazon Redshift. Speaking for and only for Amazon Redshift, as I have little knowledge of other AWS services, I hold AWS's blogs, messaging, Support communications, TAMs, the lot, as relentlessly positive and to my eye deliberately and knowingly obfuscating all weakness. I regard information from AWS regarding Redshift as safe to read when and only when you already know what's going on / the underlyin…
I've never read AWS blogs before but that was exactly my feeling after reading the linked article on "fair software principles" or something. You can tell that somebody has a hobby horse they're riding, and it's only because it's in their financial self-interest, but unless you already knew what the actual issue was before you read the blog, you're still going to be clueless afterwards!

There can be resources created implicitly, even when using IaC tools. One example, create a lambda, without an explicit log group, one will be automatically created for you outside of the tracked state.

I don’t think terraform will recursively delete everything in your S3 bucket.
There could probably be an automated tool for this that wouldn't be too complex.
