Instance Lifecycle State Exceeds Threshold

This bot identifies instances by their lifecycle state, e.g., Running, and how long they have been in that state, e.g., 7 days. This bot can be used to help identify 1) cost savings opportunities, e.g., by identifying instances that have been running for a long period of time, or 2) resource rationalization opportunities, e.g., by identifying instances that have been stopped for a long period of time.

Recommended Action

For cost savings opportunities, consider moving long running instances either to reserved instances or onto a schedule where they are stopped when not in use. For resource rationalization opportunities, contact instance owners to confirm it is safe to terminate long stopped instances and determine whether instance data should be saved.
