Automating the start of EC2 instances daily at specific time periods like start of the day (when stopped previous night) would be a real cost optimizing step. Pre-cursor Before we look into the cloudformation script directly, please make sure that you have atleast one EC2 instance in STOPPED state. Also, Please read my previous article on stopping the instances through CFN as one may require the script for that as well. What the script does? Starting EC2 instances using cloudformation involves t ..read more

In this article, I have articulated how we can STOP EC2 instances as and when we need.

So many prefer to stop the instances instead and automating this to schedule daily at specific time periods like weekends or after work hours would be a real cost optimizing step. Pre-cursor Before we look into the cloudformation script directly, lets look how we will be stopping the instances using CFN. When we actually look into the steps involved in stopping EC2 using CF ..read more

Ik eet graag verschillende keukens in hotels en daarom nam ik deze analogie, hoewel er nog vele andere zijn waar we ons mee kunnen identificeren. Laten ..read more
