Leftover volumes after runner terminated

[Fgerthoffert]

Hi,

Out of curiosity, what could be causing EC2 volumes not to be deleted once a runner has been terminated ?

I'm running ephemeral runners with a custom AMI, and after seeing a progressive increase of costs for EU-EBS:VolumeUsage, I noticed the EBS volumes were still there and available although their corresponding runners were deleted.

Thanks,
Francois

Responding to myself after noticing by looking at the AMI that it had "Delete on termination" set to "No"

In /mages/ubuntu-focal/github_agent.ubuntu.pkr.hcl, I updated to:

  launch_block_device_mappings {
    device_name           = "/dev/sda1"
    volume_size           = var.root_volume_size_gb
    volume_type           = "gp3"
    delete_on_termination = true
  }

Nice find on this. Will open an issue to make this change on all the scripts.
