aws-nuke

Remove all resources from an AWS account. Be aware that aws-nuke is a very destructive tool, hence you have to be very careful while using it. Otherwise, you might delete production data. We strongly advise you to not run this application on any AWS account, where you cannot afford to lose all resources. We are testing our Terraform code with Jenkins. Sometimes a Terraform run fails during development and messes up the account. With aws-nuke, we can simply clean up the failed account so it can be reused for the next build. Our platform developers have their own AWS accounts where they can create their own Kubernetes clusters for testing purposes. With AWS-nuke it is very easy to clean up these accounts at the end of the day and keep the costs low. There are two ways to authenticate aws-nuke. There are static credentials and profiles. The later one can be configured in the shared credentials file.
