Debugging a delete error for AWS Cloud9 environment
The issue I want to explore in this post is one I am receiving when trying to delete an AWS Cloud9 environment in AWS. Because I started working on the solution at a later time after the first occurrence, I found that a good starting point is the CloudFormation service.
AWS CloudFormation is primarily a tool for Infrastructure as Code (IaC), meaning you define your infrastructure in templates (YAML or JSON) and then explicitly create or update stacks based on those templates. AWS CloudFormation is a service that helps you model and set up your Amazon Web Services resources. It allows you to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources as a single unit called a stack.
