Re: Show HN: Tiny CLI to save AWS costs in dev environments when you're sleeping
#2Just published a tiny CLI utility to save some bucks on AWS development environment while I'm not really working.
https://github.com/aramalipoor/aws-cost-saver
The idea is to stop/shutdown any resources (such as EC2 instances, RDS databases, ECS tasks, etc.) when you're done for the day and restore them back up next time you continue.
Currently it's in a very early stage, a hobby side-project :)
Ideally I'm thinking to provide a CloudFormation template or terraform config for example, to provision a scheduled Lambda with predefined "start of work" and "end of work" times and have it automatically do that for you.
I'd like to know if something like this would be useful for you too and what do you think about it?

This sounds like a good idea!
I had been looking at creating a lamba to check for the existence of pods, services, alternate namespaces etc., as I learn K8s on AWS, to shut down the cluster when I'm not working on it.

This is amazing....
Edit: I wonder if you could put this inside of a lambda with just a role.

Thanks. Shutting down K8S cluster when not using is a really good idea. Maybe one day I play around with AWS's k8s cluster and add the trick to aws-cost-saver.
Pull requests are also welcome if you have time :) the logic must be similar to EC2 or RDS tricks: https://github.com/aramalipoor/aws-cost-saver/blob/master/sr...

Thanks. Agree with you, having it in a Lambda with a scheduled trigger or even manual trigger will be really useful.

#7This is awesome - Does it work cross-region?
+1 to add in:
- Elasticache instances - Load balancers associated with ECS clusters

CloudCustodian has offered this for quite some time. We use it at our company in all our accounts.

#9I find it price gouging that AWS doesn't already implement this on their own within their pricing structure and that you need a 3rd party tooling to do this.

They earn more money by not doing this.
