Advanced tools
A simple utility to empty an S3 bucket so that the bucket can be deleted by an Ansible task.
To implement a sophisticated infrastructure-as-code concept, the entire technology stack running at AWS needs to be provisioned and tore down from time to time. In the case that an S3 bucket contains any object, the deletion will fail. Things can be more tricky if the bucket is versioning-enabled or contains millions of objects.
This utility "hard" deletes all the objects in the specified bucket to make it really empty. Because it is intended to be used in shell scripts, there intentionally has no confirmation or interaction needed. Use with caution!
npm install -g empty-bucket
empty-bucket [options] <bucket-name>
bucket-name is just the name, not the ARN, not a name with s3:// prefix.
Options
--help Show this help message
