awsrm

A remove command for AWS resources

This command line tool follows the Unix Philosophy and does only one thing, but (hopefully) does it well:

Deleting over 250 AWS resources across multiple accounts and regions via unified API.

Like other Unix-like tools, awsrm reveals its real power when combining it via pipes with other tools, such as awsls for listing resources or grep for filtering resources.

Example

Delete multiple resources at once

// Add gif

Delete across multiple accounts and regions

1. List resources via awsls with the attributes you want to filter on (here: -a tags)
2. Use standard tools, such as grep, to filter the resources to delete
3. Pipe result into awsrm (nothing is deleted until you confirm)

The following example deletes all AWS instances with tag Name=foo in the AWS accounts associated with profile myaccount1 and myaccount2 in both regions us-west-2 and us-east-1:

awsls -p myaccount1 -r us-west-2 instance -a tags | grep Name=foo | awsrm
