How to format cloud-nuke --config file to blanket-exclude resource types

[paperpiedpiper]

Hello,

I'm trying to use Cloud Nuke in a GitHub Actions workflow to regularly clean up AWS resources, but I keep running into issues with the command length and resource type exclusions.

I want to exclude a large set of resource types (IAM, VPC, S3, etc.) and have been passing them as --exclude-resource-type flags, but the command has gotten too big and gets truncated. I understand from your documentation and the example config file that exclusions can be managed via a YAML config, but I'm not sure how to translate my current list of exclusions into the correct config file format. To be honest, I'm having trouble following the examples over at: https://github.com/gruntwork-io/cloud-nuke/tree/master/config/examples

Could you please advise:
What is the recommended way to exclude a long list of resource types in a config file?
Is there a minimal example config for just excluding specific resource types (no regex, no tags, just blanket exclusion)?

Here’s a snippet of my workflow and the resource types I want to exclude (see below):

# ...workflow excerpt...
resource-types: >-
  iam iam-group iam-policy iam-role iam-service-linked-role
  event-bridge-rule event-bridge-schedule event-bridge-schedule-group
  config-rules accessanalyzer oidcprovider snstopic sqs
  vpc security-group network-acl lc internet-gateway egress-onlyinternet-gateway
  ec2-subnet ec2-placement-groups ec2-dhcp-option lt
  network-firewall-policy network-firewall-rule-group network-firewall-tls-config network-firewall-resource-policy
  elasticacheparametergroups elasticachesubnetgroups
  s3 s3-ap s3-olap s3-mrap
  cloudwatch-dashboard cloudwatch-alarm
  ses-configuration-set ses-email-template ses-identity ses-receipt-rule-set ses-receipt-filter
  route53-cidr-collection route53-traffic-policy

Is it going to be something like this?:

IAM:
  exclude: {}

IAMGroup:
  exclude: {}

IAMPolicy:
  exclude: {}

IAMRole:
  exclude: {}
# etc...

Any help or example config would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.
