Get Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Required python packages
  • boto3 (for AWS)
  • msrestazure (for Azure)
  • azure-mgmt-compute (for Azure)
  • azure-identity (for Azure)
  • azure-mgmt-network (for Azure)
  • google-cloud-compute (for GCP)
  • google-api-python-client (for GCP)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/yugabyte/cloud-resource-cleanup.git
cd cloud-resource-cleanup
pip install -r requirements.txt

Environment Variables

The script requires certain environment variables to be set in order to interact with different cloud providers. The following environment variables must be set before running the script:

Google Cloud Platform

• GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS: The path to the JSON file containing your GCP service account credentials.

Amazon Web Services

• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: The secret access key for your AWS account.
• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: The access key ID for your AWS account.

Azure

• AZURE_CREDENTIALS_TENANT_ID: The tenant ID for your Azure subscription.
• AZURE_CREDENTIALS_SUBSCRIPTION_ID: The subscription ID for your Azure subscription.
• AZURE_CREDENTIALS_CLIENT_SECRET: The client secret for your Azure application.
• AZURE_CREDENTIALS_CLIENT_ID: The client ID for your Azure application.
• AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP: The name of the resource group to use in Azure. If you don't want to set this as an environment variable or want to use a different resource group than the one set in the environment variable, you can specify it using the --resource_group option. Note that the --resource_group option will take priority over the environment variable.

Slack (Optional)

• SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: The API token for the Slack bot you want to use to receive notifications.

InfluxDB (Optional)

• INFLUXDB_TOKEN: The API token for the InfluxDB you want to use to receive data.

It's important to note that you only need to set the environment variables for the cloud providers you are interacting with. For example, if you are only using the script to delete resources on AWS, you would only need to set the AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID environment variables.

You can set the environment variables in your shell by using the export command. For example, to set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable, you would use the following command:

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="/path/to/credentials.json"

You can also add these commands to your shell profile file, such as ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc, to ensure that these environment variables are set every time you start a new shell session.

Make sure to replace the placeholders with the appropriate values for your environment.

Logging

The script will log all deleted resources to a file called crc.log in the same directory as the script. The log file will contain the resource type, name, and the date and time it was deleted.

Usage

To run the script, use the following command:

python crc.py --cloud <cloud_name> --operation_type <operation_type> --resource <resource_name> --filter_tags <tags> --exception_tags <tags> --notags <tags> --age <age> --slack_channel <slack_channel> --influxdb <influxdb_connection_details>

• cloud: Specify the cloud name (aws, azure, gcp or all). Required.
• project_id: Required for gcp
• resource: Indicate the type of resource you want to target (e.g. vm, disk, ip, keypair, spot_instance_requests) or specify "all" to target all types of resources. Default: 'all'
• resource_group: Use this option to specify the resource group for Azure. If this flag is provided, the script will only operate on resources within the specified resource group. This allows for more precise targeting of resources in your Azure environment.
• operation_type: Specify the type of operation to perform on the resource (delete or stop). Default: 'delete'
• dry_run: Enabling this option will only list resources that match the specified criteria without performing any operations on them. Use the -d or --dry_run flag to enable this feature. If this option is not specified, the script will perform the operation specified by the operation_type argument.
• resource_states: Specify the state of the resource you want to delete. Only applicable for virtual machines (VMs) and can be either 'RUNNING' or 'STOPPED'. Default: ['RUNNING']. This means that by default, only running VMs will be considered for deletion.
• filter_tags: Use this option to filter resources based on their tags. Leave value of Key empty to indicate any value. If not specified all available resources will be picked. This option does not apply to AWS keypairs and GCP IPs. esources will be included if any of the key with any value pair matches. (e.g. {'test_task': ['test', 'stress-test']}).
• exception_tags: Use this option to exclude resources based on their tags. Does not apply if filter_tags is not set. Leave the value of Key empty to indicate any value. Resources will be excluded if any of the key with any value pair matches. This option does not apply to AWS keypairs and GCP IPs (e.g. {'test_task': ['test-keep-resources', 'stress-test-keep-resources']}).
• name_regex: Use this option to filter resources based on regular expressions applied to their names. If not specified, all available resources will be picked. This option only applies to AWS keypairs and GCP IPs. Resources will be included if any of the specified regular expressions match their names. (e.g. ['perftest_', 'feature_']).
• exception_regex: Use this option to exclude resources based on regular expressions applied to their names. This option does not apply if name_regex is not set. Resources will be excluded if any of the specified regular expressions match their names. This option only applies to AWS keypairs and GCP IPs (e.g. ['perftest_keep_resources', 'feature_keep_resources'])
• age: Use this option to specify an age threshold for resources when deleting resources other than IPs (e.g. {'days': 3, 'hours': 12}).
• custom_age_tag_key: Define a custom tag key for the age threshold of resources on your cloud resource. This tag is ignored for IPs and Keypairs (e.g. value of the tag {'days': 3, 'hours': 12}).
• max_age: Specify the maximum age threshold for resources. This value will override the value of the tag specified by custom_age_tag_key (e.g. {'days': 14, 'hours': 12}).
• notags: Use this option to filter resources based on tags that are not present. Leave the value of Key empty to indicate any value. Resources will be excluded if all of the key-value pair match. This option can be used independently of the filter_tags option. This option does not apply to AWS keypairs and GCP IPs. Format: -t or --notags {'test_task': ['test'], 'test_owner': []}
• slack_channel: Use this option to specify a Slack channel to receive notifications about the execution of the script. Only works if specified.
• detach_age: Use this option to specify the detached age for filtering GCP Disks. This option only works for GCP disks deletions.
• slack_notify_users: Use this option to tag the user in the Slack notification. It is mandatory to pass --slack_user_label with this flag. This option only works for GCP disks deletions.
• slack_user_label: Use this option to specify the label to look up in the GCP disks. This option only works for GCP disks deletions.
• influxdb: Use this option to specify InfluxDB connection details. The argument takes a dictionary value, with keys 'url', 'org', 'bucket', and an optional key 'resource_suffix'. Example usage: -i or --influxdb {'url': 'http://localhost:8086', 'org': 'Test', 'bucket': 'CRC', 'resource_suffix': 'test'}. Only works if specified.
• kms_pending_window: Use this option to specify the number of days before the key actually gets deleted. The number of days must be between 7 to 30 inclusive.
• kms_key_description: Use this option to match specfic string in kms key description.
• kms_user: Use this option to specify AWS ARN of user for which keys will be deleted.

Examples

1. Delete all running AWS VMs that are older than 3 days and 12 hours and have the tag test_task with the value stress-test. Additionally, consider the custom age specified in the retention_age tag, ensuring the value does not exceed the max_age of 14 days.

python crc.py --cloud aws --resource vm --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test']}" --age "{'days': 3, 'hours': 12}" --custom_age_tag_key retention_age --max_age {'days': 14}

2. To stop all Azure VMs in test-rg resource group that are older than 2 days and have the tag test_task with the value stress-test:

python crc.py --cloud azure --resource_group test-rg --resource vm --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test']}" --age "{'days': 2}" --operation_type stop

3. To delete all GCP disks that are older than 14 days and have the tag test_task with the value stress-test and project_id as 'test_project':

python crc.py --cloud gcp --project_id test_project --resource disk --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test']}" --detach_age "{'days': 14}"

4. To stop all VMs across all clouds that have the tag test_task with the value stress-test and perf-test and do not have the tag test_owner:

python crc.py --cloud all --resource vm --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test', 'perf-test']}" --notags "{'test_owner': []}" --operation_type stop

5. To perform a dry run of the script and list all VMs across all clouds that have been created in the last 2 days and do not have the tag test_task:

python crc.py --cloud all --resource vm --age "{'days': 2}" --notags "{'test_task': []}" --dry_run

6. To Delete AWS VPCs and all attached resources

python crc.py --cloud aws --resource vm --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test', 'perf-test']}" --notags "{'test_owner': []}"

7. To Delete AWS KMS that are older than 3 days

python3 crc.py --cloud aws --resource kms --kms_key_description <key-description> --kms_user <AWS-ARN> --age "{'days': 3}"

8. To delete all AWS Spot Instance Requests & associated Instances that are older than 3 days and 12 hours and have the tag test_task with the value stress-test:

python crc.py --cloud aws --resource spot_instance_requests --filter_tags "{'test_task': ['stress-test']}" --age "{'days': 3, 'hours': 12}"

Notes

• Please make sure to test this script in a non-production environment before using it in a production environment. This script will delete resources permanently and cannot be undone.
• Try using the dry run mode feature to avoid unfortunate circumstances.
• If filters are not specified, the tool will consider every resource for cleanup.
• Use the filter_tags, exception_tags and notags options in JSON format (Dict[str, List[str]])
• Use the resource_states, name_regex, and exception_regex options in list format (List[str])
• When giving a value to the resource_states parameter, be aware that different cloud libraries have different formats. (For eg. running state for AWS, AZU but RUNNING for GCP)
• Use the age and influxdb option in JSON format. Example: {"days": 60} (Dict[str, int])
• VPCs support only Delete operation and do not respect age threshold.
