#25The large amount of similar comments by new accounts makes this seem a bit iffy. Especially given that most of those comments were flagged.
Good luck on your project, though.

#27At $WORK we use a tool named Cloud Custodian that does this, and can do so for almost all resources. We use it almost exclusively for EC2 and other resources in our dev account where at midnight EST it shuts down all resources.
Users can override it by adding a custom tag to their resources to change the hours or not have the workload shut down. It's reduced our AWS costs tremendously.
Since we heavily push using terraform even for dev stuff, users can quickly re-spin up their instances, fix DNS records and the like with a terraform apply to get back up and running when they get back to their desk.

You are absolutely correct. Cloud Custodian is a great tool and some of customers had similar tools built internally. However the real pain point was the maintenance part of these and especially companies with limited cloud expertise, hence they like CloudPal's appeal.
Another primary reason for them to prefer CloudPal is that most software engineers can use CloudPal without a lot of IaC or AWS knowledge such as tagging resources.
