I am trying to create a Sandbox playground in AWS for Users to practice some resources for 30min, after that, all resources should be deleted and account temporary account should also be deleted.

I got some information like Cloud Formation, Lambda and IAM combined can be used, Or AWS Control Tower also but I have no idea where to begin with.

Temporary account creation automation I understood, for deletion also I want to automate, Can anyone suggest any solution?

  • Do you want to give every user their own AWS account, which you will delete, or are you talking about IAM accounts? 30 minutes is a short time to play with AWS. I have a few ideas but I need your question clarified before I suggest them. – Tim Jan 23 '20 at 07:47
  • I will give them temporary account generated using AWS Organization and Lambda then same account i want to delete after 30 min, I can increase this time to 45min if that is not sufficient – Manish Goyal Jan 23 '20 at 08:01
  • That could end up with your console showing a HUGE number of removed accounts. Have you considered giving them a VPC and IAM user, then removing those? That gives you sufficient isolation. What do you expect people to be able to do that's useful in 30 minutes? – Tim Jan 23 '20 at 18:56
  • Using resoucess like Database services, EC2, S3 – Manish Goyal Jan 23 '20 at 19:29
  • An RDS database might take 15 minutes to spin up, including the time in the console. Suggest you rethink what you're trying to achieve and how you're trying to achieve it – Tim Jan 23 '20 at 21:21
  • In the meantime, AWS has set up some useful Best Practices documentation: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/mt/best-practices-creating-managing-sandbox-accounts-aws/ – Manfred Berndtgen Aug 17 '21 at 13:23
