Question: ENIs are not deleted #107

Closed membra closed 2 years ago

membra commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug When I run the tool, some of the SGs are not getting deleted because they have depended objects image These objects are ENIs image

Any reason ENIs are not tackled?

Hey @membra. ENIs aren't very costly and therefore there isn't a real point in tracking them. The main purpose of Auto Cleanup is to reduce your AWS bill. Tracking ENIs also adds more work for users to whitelist them when most ENIs aren't even created by users.

I admit that some of the resources we do track i.e., security groups probably don't need to be tracked as they don't have a monetary impact on your bill. But rather not add more resources at that same level.
