cloud-nuke

I noticed that this GCP article about Terraform best practices linked to a similar tool: cloud-nuke (https://github.com/gruntwork-io/cloud-nuke) https://cloud.google.com/docs/terraform/best-practices-for-t... > After you run the terraform destroy command, also run additional clean-up procedures to remove any resources that Terraform failed to destroy. Do this by deleting any projects used for test execution or by using a tool like cloud-nuke. > Warning: Don't use such tools in a production environment. It seems like this tool only supports AWS though, at least nowadays. I kind of feel bad for the GCP people here. Damned if you do (link to an external project, which might change), damned if you don't. Besides this thing, I really enjoyed reading this article though! AWS is missing this kind of content.

I heard many horror stories about people getting unexpected fat bills from cloud providers like AWS and GCP, I think removing unused resources could be a remedy for such situations and I'm wondering how people are doing that ? I just found out about cloud-nuke[1] for AWS and SafeScrub[2] for GCP. [1]: https://github.com/gruntwork-io/cloud-nuke [2]: https://github.com/doitintl/safescrub
