Delete the sample code from your stack #

The project created by cdk init sample-app includes an SQS queue, and an SNS topic. We’re not going to use them in our project, so remove them from your the CdkWorkshopStack constructor.

Open lib/cdk-workshop-stack.ts and clean it up. Eventually it should look like this:

import * as cdk from 'aws-cdk-lib';

export class CdkWorkshopStack extends cdk.Stack {
  constructor(scope: cdk.App, id: string, props?: cdk.StackProps) {
    super(scope, id, props);

    // nothing here!
  }
}

cdk diff #

Now that we modified our stack’s contents, we can ask the toolkit to show us the difference between our CDK app and what’s currently deployed. This is a safe way to check what will happen once we run cdk deploy and is always good practice:

cdk diff

Output should look like the following:

As expected, all of our resources are going to be brutally destroyed.

cdk deploy #

Run cdk deploy and proceed to the next section (no need to wait):

cdk deploy

You should see the resources being deleted.
