Relais.io: Start and stop Amazon instances on a schedule
- Gys 11y ago'Get started for free' so what does that mean for future pricing ? I would like to know what I get into.
- nl5887 11y agoGood question. We're looking into making this a commercial application if there is interest on it. I can imagine that we'll add pricing models when scheduling over an amount of instances. Lowest tier will be free.
- Gys 11y agoActually I was looking for a service like this a while ago for some machines that were used part-time (certain days and hours). But I could not really find something that I liked enough. Then I realized the users could do it themselves as well. So now I use simple batchfiles that basically use the aws commandline: aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids XXXXXXX aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids XXXXXXX (to check current status) aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids XXXXXXX The user can start, check and stop themselves (personal tokens in environ vars). I use a launchd process to automatically check every end of the afternoon if all machines are powered down. Surprisingly this works very well. I just checked the logs and I must say we have very precise users :-)
