⏰ Dev Environment Auto Shutdown (AWS)

Automatically stop non-production AWS resources to eliminate wasted cloud spend.

This repository provides tag-based, schedule-driven shutdown automation for dev and test environments across common AWS services.

✨ Key Features

• Multi-Region Support: Automatically scans all AWS regions in your account.
• Tag-Driven: Only stops resources with AutoShutdown=true.
• Auto-Resume: Automatically starts resources back up in the morning (8 AM).
• Slack Notifications: Sends a summary of shutdown/startup actions to a Slack channel.
• Service Wide: Supports EC2, RDS, and ECS (Services).
• Cost Effective: Runs as Lambda functions with EventBridge triggers.

🚀 Getting Started

1. Deploy the Infrastructure

Check out the Terraform example to deploy the Lambda functions and CloudWatch rules.

Tip

Provide a slack_webhook_url variable to enable notifications.

2. Tag Your Resources

Resources must be tagged with AutoShutdown=true to be included in the shutdown cycle. You can use the tagging helper script:

./examples/tag-resources.sh us-east-1

🛠️ How It Works

1. Scans All Regions: The Lambda functions fetch all available regions.
2. Filters by Tag: Looks for instances/services with AutoShutdown=true.
3. Graceful Shutdown: Stops EC2/RDS instances and sets ECS desired count to 0.

📂 Examples

• Terraform Deployment: Deploy the entire stack.
• Tagging Script: Quick way to onboard existing resources.

🤝 Philosophy

If it’s not production, it shouldn’t run forever.
