- spockz 6y agoThe downside of shutting down the resources is that there may be none available anymore in that sizing or pricing when you want to start them up again. I suppose they also don’t want to risk being liable for that.

It allows you to create automatic start and stop schedules for your Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS instances. It uses a combination of CloudWatch/Lambda/DynamoDB to check against tagged instances.
