Being aware of everything you're running on AWS is trivial when it's all on the EC2 dashboard, and you create everything by hand or using Terraform.

Many of these new AWS-provided stacks, however, seem to create stuff all over your account.

The moral of the story? Don't ever use AWS tools like the one the OP describes, ones which create a bunch of different resources for you automatically.

i use them to create a small test stack to look at it for a day or two.

then go through, delete all of the resources, put what i need into terraform etc.

has worked well for me in the past.

but yeah, i would never blindly use aws tools to magically put something into production.
