Wait, so does that mean we delete all ECS clusters, no matter how old they are?

In practice, that is not what happens because the filter applies on the ECS services and you can't delete ECS clusters that have any active services. However, if the cluster is empty, you could delete newer clusters so it is not perfect.
I amended the comments with that extra bit of clarification. I'm also going to make this check explicit ("are services still running on the cluster?") in the nuking step as an additional guard, if AWS decides to update the behavior of their API.

There are other resources that don't expose a "created date." For those, we use tags to only delete resources older than a certain date. E.g., see the EIP code: https://github.com/gruntwork-io/cloud-nuke/blob/master/aws/eip.go

I was actually going to go that route originally, except in my original search I couldn't find any way to set tags in ECS. But I guess I didn't try hard enough then because now I found that they are called something else in ECS (Attribute), which explains why I didn't find it the first time: I was looking for the wrong thing :(
... except unfortunately, it looks like it won't even let you set attributes on a cluster:
houston exec sandbox -- aws --region us-east-1 ecs put-attributes --cluster "$CLUSTER_ARN" --attributes name="cloud-nuke-test",value="1234",targetId="$CLUSTER_ARN"
An error occurred (InvalidParameterException) when calling the PutAttributes operation: Unexpected targetType 'cluster'.
I can't find anything else in the ECS API suite that lets me set custom values on a resource. The only thing we have control of is the Name, which isn't something we should overload.
Should I just remove the cluster nuking for now?

Yea, probably... We should be conservative in a tool like this and never delete more than expected.

Make sense. Will take it out.

Added a caveat section to the README to signal that we have considered this and made the conscious choice not to pursue this at the moment.

This is a really long function with big comment blocks in the middle. Consider breaking the contents into several smaller functions: e.g., startDrainingEcsServices, waitForServicesToFinishDraining, etc.

@brikis98 Is it ok to merge this? I have taken out ECS cluster deleting as requested. This now only contains deleting ECS services, which does have a timestamp we can use. |

Yup, ship it! 👍 |
