In GCP, the tool is not necessary, because you can simply delete the containing project to "nuke" any resources attached to it.



There is a 30 day "marked for deletion period" after you do this. The resources related to the project aren't immediately nuked.

Deleting a project does immediately turn off (stop billing) the vast majority of associated resources, including VMs. The main exception is storage, but that cost is typically fairly marginal.


Oh, ok. That seems fair and makes sense. (I wish that had been documented.)
