EC2 Auto-shutdown with Lambda

What we are going to do throughout this project <ul> <li>Creating IAM policy and Roles for lambda to stop and describe instances</li> <li>Set Up AWS Lambda function</li> <li>Create a Trigger with Event Rule</li> <li>Identify Idle Instances with a python script in the lambda function</li> <li>Implement the Shutdown by checking the last time they was an activity in the instance and subtracting it from the current time, if its equal to 1800 seconds (30 mins)</li> <li>Test and Monitor your lambda function</li> </ul> To create an AWS Lambda Function that automatically shuts down an EC2 instance when it’s idle for more than 30 minutes, you can use a combination of AWS Lambda , CloudWatch Events, and IAM roles. Here’s a high-level overview of the steps involved: Head over to your AWS management console and search for IAM .
