Instances Running 24x7

This bot identifies instances that have been running 24x7 over a defined period of time measured in days. If the bot discovers resources that match its criteria, it could provide a valuable cost-savings opportunity either by 1) moving the workload to reserved instances or 2) using the Instance Scheduler bot to stop the instances during non-operational hours and, optionally, restart the instances before operational hours begin.

Recommended Action

Notify the instance owner of the long duration use of the instance and decide whether that long duration use is necesary. If so, consider using the reserved instances market to obtain the service at reduced cost. If not, consider using the Instance Scheduler bot to stop the instance during non-operational hours to reduce costs.
