A Go CLI tool that deletes all resources from an AWS account, with dry-run defaults and multiple safety confirmations. This original rebuy-de repository is deprecated and no longer maintained; users should use the ekristen/aws-nuke fork.

Use cases

  • delete all resources in an aws account
  • clean up aws sandbox accounts
  • wipe aws dev environment to avoid costs
  • reset aws account to empty state
  • bulk delete aws resources from cli

When to choose

  • you need to wipe a non-production AWS account completely
  • you want a battle-tested tool with dry-run and blocklist safety features

When to avoid

  • maintaining production accounts - the tool hard-blocks 'prod' aliases
  • you want active maintenance - use the ekristen/aws-nuke fork instead
