Cleaner Settings

An Administrator is able to control and change the way that the AWS Accounts are cleaned/recycled at the end of a lease.  This is task is completed by an open-source tool called AWS Nuke.  However, in some instances an Administrator may wish to modify the way that the accounts are cleaned to preserve or delete certain resources.  This can be done through the Cleaner Settings (1) menu on the left hand menu.
