Experimental Features

Overview

These are the experimental features hidden behind feature flags that are currently available in aws-nuke. They are all disabled by default. These are switches that changes the actual behavior of the tool itself. Changing the behavior of a resource is done via resource settings.

!!! note The original tool had configuration options called feature-flags which were used to enable/disable certain behaviors with resources, those are now called settings and feature-flags have been deprecated in the config.

Usage

aws-nuke run --feature-flag "wait-on-dependencies"

Note: other CLI arguments are omitted for brevity.

Available Feature Flags

  • wait-on-dependencies - This feature flag will cause aws-nuke to wait for all resource type dependencies to be deleted before deleting the next resource type.

wait-on-dependencies

This feature flag will cause aws-nuke to wait for all resource type dependencies to be deleted before deleting the next resource type. This is useful for resources that have dependencies on other resources. For example, an IAM Role that has an attached policy.

The problem is that if you delete the IAM Role first, it will fail because it has a dependency on the policy.

This feature flag will cause aws-nuke to wait for all resources of a given type to be deleted before deleting the next resource type. This will reduce the number of errors and unnecessary API calls.
