cloud-nuke was created for situations when you might have an account you use for testing and need to clean up leftover resources so you're not charged for them
Parallel scanning and nuking. Resource discovery and deletion now run concurrently, controlled by a new --parallelism flag (default 10). Regions and resource types are scanned under a single global concurrency cap, and regional resources are nuked concurrently while global resources (IAM, Route53, CloudFront) are deleted last. Within-region dependency order is preserved. (#1144, #1148)
Fixes
Service-linked roles that delete quickly. When AWS purges the deletion-task record before the status poll (a NoSuchEntity response), the role is now verified via GetRole and treated as deleted instead of erroring. (#1147)
Migration note
Library consumers: aws.NukeAllResources and gcp.NukeAllResources now take an additional parallelism int parameter.
