AWS Account Nuke Service - Serverless Executor

Overview

This repository is an example of how to execute aws-nuke within a serverless environment on AWS leveraging AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild.
AWS CodePipeline has been selected due to the native integration with Github, as opposed to AWS CodeBuild which requires a manual association with a git repository.

aws-nuke prerequisites must be followed and completed before deployment which can be found here: https://github.com/rebuy-de/aws-nuke#caution

Dynamic AWS Account Id to target

A place holder exists in the aws-nuke config file for AWS CodeBuild to dynamically update with the current running AWS Account Id.
This allows for multiple deployments across many sandbox accounts without having to manage the AWS account Id.
cat aws-nuke-config/config.yaml | grep -A 1 accounts

Installation

0. Fork this repository https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo

1. Install sceptre with pip
   pip install sceptre
   https://sceptre.cloudreach.com/latest/docs/install.html

2. Install sceptre custom resolver for ssm
   cd custom_resolvers/sceptre-ssm-resolver && pip install .
   https://sceptre.cloudreach.com/latest/docs/resolvers.html#custom-resolvers

3. Check Installation Successful sceptre --version

Configuration

1. Update GitHub Details for the source repository where the aws-nuke config file exists
   cat sceptre/config/sandbox/executor.yaml | grep Git

2. Update Email address for CodePipeline notifications
   cat sceptre/config/sandbox/executor.yaml | grep NotificationEmailAddress

3. Push this code to a repository you can access with a GitHub personal access token

Note:

For aws-nuke to access and delete all services the IAM Role AwsNukeRole assumed by the AWS CodeBuild project with IAM policy AwsNukePolicy is completely permissive. Please review these permissions in your environment to ensure suitable.

Deployment

1. Create SSM Parameter /github/token with github personal access token
   Follow the prompts to enter your CLI profile, region and token. SSM Parameter name can be changed if desired.
   If so, it must also be updated here: cat sceptre/config/sandbox/executor.yaml | grep GitToken

   chmod +x ./scripts/create-github-token-ssm.sh && ./scripts/create-github-token-ssm.sh

2. Deploy stack with sceptre
   cd sceptre && sceptre launch sandbox

Cloudformation Template

Deployment of this Cloudformation stack can be achieved without sceptre and just using the AWS Console.
cat sceptre/templates/aws-nuke-service.yaml
