Stop guessing if an abandoned container or volume is still in use. RetireRight maps cross-service shared dependencies, verifies traffic silence through active network probes, and safely deprovisions resources with cryptographic audit proof.
Start Decommissioning in 60 Seconds
No agent required on target hosts. Runs locally via CLI or continuously in GitHub Actions.
Discovers container dependencies, enforces retention holds on shared volumes, and generates cryptographic plan digests.

Embed live decommission badges proving zero ghost leaks and zero dangling cloud spend.
Scans your workspace for unprotected volumes, dangling NodePorts, and deprecated ghost container images.
Decommission a legacy billing reporting worker (billing-worker-v1) that shares a database volume with live production.
Embed Real-Time Decommission Proofs
Prove zero ghost leaks, zero abandoned compute spend, and clean audit trails to your management and auditors.
The 5-Phase Decommissioning Pipeline
Every retirement follows strict mathematical state transitions: planned → approved → quarantined → rechecked → completed.
Detects all containers, networks, and shared volumes across services.
Automatically places retention holds on shared volumes to block accidental deletion.
Drains routes and samples ingress traffic. Asserts 0 packets over observation window.
Tears down only approved ephemeral entities using exact provider IDs.
Issues signed SHA-256 certificate proving exact deprovisioning and preserved state.
Safe Decommissioning with Bounded Runs
Eliminate 15–30% of cloud waste in abandoned instances, disks, and dangling egress gateways without risking production uptime.
Essential dependency mapping & CLI decommissions for small engineering teams.
Automated traffic silence probing & retention holds for fast-moving teams.
Continuous cloud hygiene, orphan resource detection, and SOC 2 auditor pack.
Multi-cloud cluster hygiene with Terraform state sync and dedicated SLA.
Tools like cloud-nuke indiscriminately wipe resources by tag or account. RetireRight maps cross-service shared dependencies first. If a database or volume is shared with another service, RetireRight locks it in retention and refuses to delete it.
During the quarantine observation window, active network probes monitor ingress sockets. If a single packet or HTTP request is detected, the pipeline automatically aborts the decommission and notifies the service owner.
Never by default. Persistent volumes, databases, and backup archives default to strict retention holds. Destruction requires explicit cryptographic preservation proof and a separate administrator approval.
