cloud-nuke

This repo contains a CLI tool to delete all cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) resources in an account. cloud-nuke was created for situations when you might have an account you use for testing and need to clean up leftover resources so you're not charged for them. Also great for cleaning out accounts with redundant resources.

The currently supported functionality includes:

AWS

Deleting all Auto scaling groups in an AWS account
Deleting all Elastic Load Balancers (Classic and V2) in an AWS account
Deleting all EBS Volumes in an AWS account
Deleting all unprotected EC2 instances in an AWS account
Deleting all AMIs in an AWS account
Deleting all Snapshots in an AWS account
Deleting all Elastic IPs in an AWS account
Deleting all Launch Configurations in an AWS account
Deleting all ECS services in an AWS account
Deleting all EKS clusters in an AWS account

Caveats

We currently do not support deleting ECS clusters because AWS does not give us a good way to blacklist clusters off the list (there are no tags and we do not know the creation timestamp). Given the destructive nature of the tool, we have opted not to support deleting ECS clusters at the moment. See gruntwork-io#36 for a more detailed discussion.

Azure

GCP

WARNING: THIS TOOL IS HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE, ALL SUPPORTED RESOURCES WILL BE DELETED. ITS EFFECTS ARE IRREVERSIBLE AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN A PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

Usage

Simply running cloud-nuke <provider> (e.g. cloud-nuke aws) will start the process of cleaning up your cloud account. You'll be shown a list of resources that'll be deleted as well as a prompt to confirm before any deletion actually takes place.

Excluding Regions

You can use the --exclude-region flag to exclude resources in certain regions from being deleted. For example the following command does not nuke resources in ap-south-1 and ap-south-2 regions:

cloud-nuke aws --exclude-region ap-south-1 --exclude-region ap-south-2

Excluding Resources by Age

You can use the --older-than flag to only nuke resources that were created before a certain period, the possible values are all valid values for ParseDuration For example the following command nukes resources that are at least one day old:

cloud-nuke aws --older-than 24h

Happy Nuking!!!
