AutomatR.AWS.Activities.DeleteBucket

The "Delete Bucket" activity in AutomatR is part of the AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) activities package, allowing automation processes to delete a specific S3 bucket within Amazon Web Services (AWS). This activity streamlines the bucket deletion process, enhancing the efficiency of automation workflows.

Misc
Display NameProvides a customizable name for the activity displayed in the workflow. The display name enhances clarity and organization within the automation project. String variable or argument containing the desired display name.
Optional
DelaySpecifies the amount of time (in seconds) to wait before executing the "Delete Bucket" activity. Useful for handling synchronization issues. Integer variables containing the delay duration. Ex.: If the wait time is 1000 milliseconds or 1 sec, i.e., 1.
Output
ResultOutputs the result of the "Delete Bucket" operation, indicating whether the bucket deletion was successful or any encountered errors. Variables of relevant types (e.g., Boolean variables) to store the operation result.

How to use:

  1. Drag and drop the "Delete Bucket" activity onto the workflow.
  2. Configure the properties by providing the required inputs, such as access key ID, secret access key, region, and bucket name.
  3. Optionally, configure the delay and customize the display name.
  4. Execute the workflow to delete the specified S3 bucket within AWS.

Example: Consider an example where the "Delete Bucket" activity is used to delete an S3 bucket named "MyDataBucket" located in the "us-west-2" region:

Delete Bucket:
Display Name: "Delete MyDataBucket"
Access Key ID: "**************"
Secret Access Key: "**************"
Region: "us-west-2"
Bucket Name: "MyDataBucket"
Result: isBucketDeleted

In this example, the activity attempts to delete the S3 bucket named "MyDataBucket" in the "us-west-2" region, and the result of the operation (success or failure) is stored in the Boolean variable "isBucketDeleted" for further handling in the workflow.
