About:
awsweeper is a command-line interface tool designed to clean up AWS resources by filtering and deleting them based on YAML configuration. It helps users avoid manual, error-prone processes when decommissioning infrastructure or removing unused resources. The tool supports multiple AWS services and provides a safe way to manage cloud account hygiene.
Key Features:
  • YAML-based filtering for precise resource selection
  • Support for multiple AWS services (EC2, S3, IAM, etc.)
  • Dry-run mode to preview deletions before execution
  • Cross-platform CLI written in Go
Use Cases:
  • Decommissioning development or test environments
  • Removing orphaned resources to reduce costs
  • Enforcing compliance by cleaning unused assets
Alternatives:
  • aws-nuke – Similar purpose but aws-nuke is more opinionated and wipes entire accounts, while awsweeper offers finer-grained YAML filtering.
  • Cloud Custodian – More comprehensive policy engine; awsweeper is simpler and focused on deletion workflows.
