<a name="tools-account-hygiene"></a>

You'll want to clean up after you are done in the account have shared the AMI and no longer have a need for the replicated instances:
+ Post instance WIGs ingestion:
  + Cutover instance: At a minimum, stop or terminate this instance, after the work has been completed, via the AWS console
  + Pre-Ingestion AMI backups: Remove once the instance has been ingested and the on-premise instance terminated
  + AMS-ingested instances: Turn off the stack or terminate once the AMI has been shared
  + AMS-ingested AMIs: Delete once sharing with the destination account is completed
+ End of migration clean up: Document the resources deployed through Developer mode to ensure clean-up happens on regular basis, for example:
  + Security groups
  + Resources created via Cloud-formation
  + Network ACK
  + Subnet
  + VPC
  + Route Table
  + Roles
  + Users and accounts
