# Config
The configuration is the user supplied configuration that is used to drive the nuke process. The configuration is a YAML file that is loaded from the path specified by the --config flag.
## Sections
The configuration is broken down into the following sections:
- [blocklist](#blocklist)
- [blocklist-terms](#blocklist-terms)
- [no-blocklist-terms-default](#no-blocklist-terms-default)
- [regions](#regions)
- [accounts](#accounts)
- [presets](#presets)
- [filters](#filters)
- [resource-types](#resource-types)
- [includes](#includes)
- [excludes](#excludes)
- [cloud-control](#cloud-control)
- targets (deprecated, use includes)
- [resource-types](#resource-types)
- [includes](#includes)
- [excludes](#excludes)
- [cloud-control](#cloud-control)
- targets (deprecated, use includes)
- [feature-flags](#feature-flags) (deprecated, use settings instead)
- [settings](#settings)
- [presets](#global-presets)
## Simple Example
```yaml
blocklist:
- 1234567890
blocklist-terms:
- "prod"
- "production"
- "live"
no-blocklist-terms-default: false # default value
regions:
- global
- us-east-1
accounts:
0987654321:
filters:
IAMUser:
- "admin"
IAMUserPolicyAttachment:
- "admin -> AdministratorAccess"
IAMUserAccessKey:
- "admin -> AKSDAFRETERSDF"
- "admin -> AFGDSGRTEWSFEY"
resource-types:
includes:
- IAMUser
- IAMUserPolicyAttachment
- IAMUserAccessKey
settings:
EC2Instance:
DisableDeletionProtection: true
RDSInstance:
DisableDeletionProtection: true
```
## Blocklist
The `blocklist` is simply a list of Accounts that the tool cannot run against. This is to protect the user from accidentally
running the tool against the wrong account. The blocklist must always be populated with at least one entry.
```yaml
blocklist:
- 1234567890
```
## Blocklist Terms
`blocklist-terms` is a list of terms that the tool will use to block accounts based on their aliases. If an account
alias contains any of the terms in the list, then the account will be blocked. However, if the bypass alias check flag
is set, then this feature has no affect.
```yaml
blocklist-terms:
- "prod"
- "production"
- "live"
```
## No Blocklist Terms Default
`no-blocklist-terms-default` is a boolean value that determines the default behavior of the blocklist. If set to true,
then the blocklist will be empty by default. If set to false, then the blocklist will be populated by default.
### Usage
**Default Value:** `false`
```yaml
no-blocklist-terms-default: true
```
### Default Terms
```yaml
- prod
```
## Regions
The `regions` is a list of AWS regions that the tool will run against. The tool will run against all regions specified in the
configuration. If no regions are listed, then the tool will **NOT** run against any region. Regions must be explicitly
provided.
```yaml
regions:
- global
- us-east-1
```
### All Enabled Regions
You may specify the special region `all` to run against all enabled regions. This will run against all regions that are
enabled in the account. It will not run against regions that are disabled. It will also automatically include the
special region `global` which is for specific global resources.
!!! important
The use of `all` will ignore all other regions specified in the configuration. It will only run against regions
that are enabled in the account.
```yaml
regions:
- all
```
## Accounts
The accounts section is a map of AWS Account IDs to their configuration. The account ID is the key and the value is the
configuration for that account.
The configuration for each account is broken down into the following sections:
- presets
- filters
- resource-types
- targets (deprecated, use includes)
- includes
- excludes
- cloud-control
### Presets
Presets under an account entry is a list of strings that must map to a globally defined preset in the configuration.
### Filters
Filters is a map of filters against resource types. To learn more about filters, see the [Filtering](./config-filtering.md)
**Note:** filters can be defined at the account level and at the preset level.
## Resource Types
Resource types is a map of resource types to their configuration. The resource type is the key and the value is the
configuration for that resource type.
The configuration for each resource type is broken down into the following sections:
- includes
- excludes
- cloud-control
- targets (deprecated, use includes)
### Includes
Includes are a list of resource types the tool will run against. If no includes are specified, then the tool will run against
all resource types.
### Excludes
Excludes are a list of resource types the tool will not run against. If no excludes are specified, then the tool will run
against all resource types unless Includes is specified.
### Cloud Control
Cloud Control is a map of resource types to their cloud control configuration. This allows for alternative behavior when
removing resources. If a resource has a Cloud Control alternative, and you'd like to use its behavior, then you can specify
the resource type in the `cloud-control` section.
## Feature Flags
!!! warning
Deprecated. Please use settings instead.
Feature flags are a map of resource types to their feature flag configuration. This allows for alternative behavior when
removing resources. If a resource has a feature flag alternative, and you'd like to use its behavior, then you can specify
the resource type in the `feature-flags` section.
## Settings
Settings are a map of resource types to their settings configuration. This allows for alternative behavior when removing
resources. If a resource has a setting alternative, and you'd like to use its behavior, then you can specify the resource
type in the `settings` section.
## Global Presets
