I avoid AWS like the plague because it's not small business friendly. It just seems foolish to me why any org that wasn't mid-sized or above would use it. There are plenty of cheaper vendors in the world! Tons of them! They can literally be 10x cheaper with more resources. Wild. If you actually have to use AWS though because you have RFP requirements to meet, then I would ask whether or not you can halt instances using CloudWatch. I don't know the answer to that, but Amazon makes it seem like you can. Although their documentation seems to suggest you can only do it for idle instances.[1] [1]: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/UsingAlarmActions.html https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitori...
