Your AWS CloudShell data is scheduled for deletion

0

Hello,

I've received a mail with the information that the data of the us-east-1 Region will be deleted if I'm not reacting. In the past a programmer set up the database. I'm not proficient in this kind of work. I want to check if there is any data stored that should be saved. But I'm a bit afraid of using the CloudShell. Maybe someone can help me how I can check the data stored in this directory without deleting or destroying everything. ;)

Kind regards

If no operation is performed, the data will be lost.
It is not necessary to execute the command on CloudShell, but it must be started.
The storage period can be extended for 120 days by selecting the target region and invoking CloudShell with the target IAM user.

It is also possible to download data on CloudShell.

  • I started the CloudShell. But the notification didn't disappear. Unfortunately the second link doesn't help me, because I need the name of the data I want to download, right? But I'm not even sure, if there is something stored.

    Sorry like I said I have no expertise in this kind of stuff. :/

  • The notification itself does not disappear immediately after access, but must wait a while. If you wait for a while and it does not disappear, it is possible that you have the wrong IAM user and you need to check.
    As for how to check the data, since CloudShell can use the bash shell, you can check what is in the directory by executing the following command.

    ls -la
