Challenge
Before
Development and staging cloud servers ran nonstop through nights and weekends, piling up wasted costs. Manual start/stop was full of slips and mistakes, and no one could trace who operated what or when.
- Curb wasteful cloud costsRuns nights/weekends, billing continues
- Automate start/stopManual ops cause frequent slips/errors
- Keep an operation historyUnclear who operated when
- Manage many instancesManagement breaks as instances grow
Solution
After
Register AWS keys and instances, then set start/stop schedules. cron runs start/stop automatically, usage logs export daily/weekly/monthly, and role permissions separate admins from operators.
