This repository contains a Terraform configuration that creates resources on AWS to manage EC2 and RDS instances based on a schedule. This is useful for environments such as development or testing where resources are not needed outside of working hours, helping to reduce costs.
- Schedules the start and stop times of EC2 and RDS instances.
- Uses AWS Lambda functions to control the state of the instances.
- Stores the schedule in a DynamoDB table.
- Uses tags to identify which instances to control.
The system uses tags to identify which EC2 and RDS instances to start and stop based on the schedule. You should tag your instances with the key provided in var schedule_tag_name with the value true for them to be managed by the system.
