Manually Delete Connector Artifacts in AWS

Frictionless Assessment is now End of Provisioning (starting May 15, 2023), and new users will not be able to deploy Frictionless Assessment connectors. Frictionless Assessment will reach End-of-Support on December 31, 2023, and will no longer receive support or updates. However, existing Frictionless Assessment connectors will continue to function until the feature is End-of-Life on December 31, 2024. Tenable recommends that you transition to Tenable Cloud Security with Agentless Assessment for scanning your cloud resources. For more information, see the Tenable Vulnerability Management Release Notes.

The following feature is not supported in Tenable FedRAMP Moderate environments. For more information, see the Tenable FedRAMP Moderate Product Offering.

Required User Role: Administrator

After you delete your last AWS connector, Tenable Vulnerability Management triggers an automatic deletion of most AWS artifacts associated with the connector and the Frictionless Assessment configuration.

However, the CloudFormation stack or stack set is not automatically deleted. You must manually delete the CloudFormation stack or stack set in the AWS CloudFormation console.

Before you begin:

Delete the AWS connector, as described in Delete a Connector.

To manually delete artifacts from the AWS connector:

Delete the Tenable-created CloudFormation stack or stack set, as described in Deleting a stack on the AWS CloudFormation console in the AWS CloudFormation User Guide. The stack is a .yml file and has the same name as its associated connector.
