It is designed for controlled teardown workflows rather than routine administration. ### Projektgeschichte The repository history starts in June 2016 with commits adding deletion support for EC2 instances, Auto Scaling groups, security groups, Route 53 records, and VPCs. The current ekristen project documents itself as a full fork of the original rebuy-de/aws-nuke project. The fork's README says the fork became necessary because the original maintainers had limited time and contribution feedback cycles were slow. Version 3 rewrote the tool around libnuke, a shared library intended to avoid maintaining duplicated cleanup logic across cloud-specific nuke tools. ### Adoptionsgeschichte aws-nuke became a recognizable tool in AWS-heavy development and test environments because it automates the otherwise tedious process of finding and deleting many resource types. Its own warning documentation emphasizes blocklists, explicit account configuration, and central management of the config file because mistakes can delete live infrastructure. The project is packaged through Homebrew and several other package managers in the supplied facts, which fits its use as an operator CLI: teams want a pinned binary available on developer laptops, CI jobs, and ephemeral cleanup machines. ### Wie es verwendet wird Use centers on a YAML configuration file passed with --config or -c. The docs describe the config as user supplied YAML loaded from the path specified by the --config flag, with the CLI usage showing config.yaml as the default. For AWS authentication, the official docs describe static credential flags, environment variables, and shared AWS config/credential files normally located at ~/.aws/config and ~/.aws/credentials. The CLI can also use AWS profiles and assume-role settings. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren Package nerds care about aws-nuke because it is one of the rare packageable CLIs whose whole purpose is irreversible infrastructure deletion. Its formula is not just a convenience wrapper; distributing the right upstream and version matters for supported AWS resource coverage and safety controls. ### Zeitleiste - 2016: Initial aws-nuke commits add deletion support for core AWS resources. - 2017: v1.0 tag appears in the public git history. - 2018: v2.0.0 tag appears. - 2025: libnuke 1.x dependency work lands in the current fork. - 2026: v3.x tags show continued active releases. ### Related projects - rebuy-de/aws-nuke is the original project acknowledged by the current fork. - ekristen/libnuke is the shared core library used by version 3. ### Quellen - - - - - official git history and tags from https://github.com/ekristen/aws-nuke ## Sicherheitshinweise Für aws-nuke wurde kein passendes lokales Secret-Handling-Manifest gefunden.
