Avahi Service Delivery Removal

Thank you for using Avahi's managed services. Follow these steps to cleanly remove the Avahi Service Delivery automation tools and IAM roles from your AWS account.

Before You Begin

⚠️ Important Notice

Removing the Avahi Service Delivery stack will delete the cross-account IAM roles that Avahi uses to manage your AWS workload. Ensure that any active services or automations are no longer needed before proceeding.

Removal Steps

Open AWS Console: Navigate to the AWS CloudFormation console in your web browser. Make sure you're logged in as an administrator with permissions to delete CloudFormation stacks.
https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation
Locate the Avahi Stack: In the CloudFormation console, look for the stack named:
avahi-admin-access
Review Stack Resources: Click on the stack name to view its details. Review the Resources tab to see what will be deleted. This stack contains:
- IAM Role: AvahiAdminAccess
- IAM Policies attached to the role
- Trust relationship with Avahi's AWS account
Delete the Stack: Select the stack and click the Delete button. Confirm the deletion when prompted. CloudFormation will automatically remove all resources created by this stack.
Monitor Deletion Progress: The deletion process typically takes 1-3 minutes. You can monitor the progress in the Events tab. The stack status will show DELETE_IN_PROGRESS and eventually DELETE_COMPLETE.
Verify Removal: Once deleted, verify that the IAM role AvahiAdminAccess is no longer present in your IAM roles list.
https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home#/roles

Alternative: Using AWS CLI

If you prefer to use the command line, you can delete the stack with the AWS CLI:

                # List stacks to verify

                aws cloudformation list-stacks --stack-status-filter CREATE_COMPLETE UPDATE_COMPLETE

                # Delete the Avahi stack

                aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name avahi-admin-access

                # Monitor deletion progress

                aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name avahi-admin-access

Troubleshooting

Stack Deletion Failed?

If the stack fails to delete, it's usually because of resource dependencies or permission issues. Check the Events tab in CloudFormation for specific error messages. Common issues include:

IAM roles still in use by other AWS services
Insufficient permissions to delete IAM resources
Stack termination protection enabled (disable it first)

If you need additional resources removed or encounter issues, please contact Avahi support for assistance.
