Description

Found a possible issue in [networkservicemesh/networkservicemesh](https://www.github.com/networkservicemesh/networkservicemesh) at [scripts/aws/destroy-kubernetes-cluster.go](https://github.com/networkservicemesh/networkservicemesh/blob/cb2e62e24eb38c3ff7faa62f8e78ff8af197f675/scripts/aws/destroy-kubernetes-cluster.go#L319-L356)

Below is the message reported by the analyzer for this snippet of code. Beware that the analyzer only reports the first issue it finds, so please do not limit your consideration to the contents of the below message.

Research direction

Start in scripts/aws/destroy-kubernetes-cluster.go at lines 319-356 and inspect how the range variable is used by the goroutine and defer. Check the surrounding AWS cluster-destruction flow and confirm that each asynchronous deletion uses the intended stack; done means the analyzer finding is addressed without changing the deletion behavior.
