About:
aws-nuke is a command-line tool designed to comprehensively clean all resources within an AWS account. It systematically identifies and deletes every resource type supported by the AWS SDK, ensuring a complete reset of the cloud environment. This tool is essential for managing test and sandbox accounts where resource cleanup needs to be automated and guaranteed.
Key Features:
  • Comprehensive resource deletion across all AWS regions
  • Configurable filters to exclude critical resources from deletion
  • Interactive mode to review and confirm resource removal
  • Support for custom resource handlers and configurations
Use Cases:
  • Cleaning up sandbox accounts after development or testing cycles
  • Resetting AWS accounts to a known clean state for CI/CD pipelines
  • Ensuring complete cost removal by deleting forgotten or orphaned resources
Alternatives:
  • aws-cli – Requires manual scripting for bulk deletion, whereas aws-nuke automates the discovery and removal of all resource types.
  • CloudNuke – A similar tool, but aws-nuke (ekristen fork) is known for broader resource support and active maintenance.
