EC2 and RDS automatically removed

Question

I was testing EC2 and RDS and all config before buying any paid I tried the free tier. Not sure why AWS automatically removes both instances without any period of notice. If AWS will be removing the instances how we can be sure our data will be safe in production?

Accepted Answer

Hello.

EC2 and RDS are not automatically removed.  
Check the CloudTrail event history to see if events such as "DeleteDBInstance" or "TerminateInstances" have occurred.

Also, please check if the open region is the region where you started EC2 or RDS.
