CloudFiles-Nukem

cloudfiles-nukem is a Rackspace CloudFiles variation of s3nukem which is a slightly improved version of s3nuke, a Ruby script by Steve Eley that relatively quickly deletes an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket with many objects (millions) by using multiple threads to retrieve and delete the individual objects.

Installation

You'll need:

Ruby >= 1.87 Ruby 1.9 should work faster because of the native thread implementation (on the other hand, network/S3 latency may be your biggest bottleneck).
ruby-cloudfiles gem
```
  sudo gem install cloudfiles
```

Download and make executable; e.g.,

# download
git clone git@github.com:hathaway/cloudfiles-nukem.git

# make executable
chmod 755 cloudfiles-nukem

Obvious Warning

This script is intended to delete all of the items in a CloudFiles container very quickly. You will not be prompted to ask you if you're sure. There is no undo.

License

This script is released under the Apache License, Version 2.0. I really don't care what you do with it, so long as "sue me" is not on the agenda.
