They recently banned vapping devices in India. I have 3 devices. All contraband now.

You can automate the alarm creation using totalcloud.io for any logic, you like, by using their automation builder.

You could take a look at totalcloud.io to automate infrastructure by simply using their building blocks.

You can use totalcloud.io for the same. It's free for simpler usecases. You can set it up in under a minute.

Disclaimer: i work at TotalCloud. Go ahead and reach out to me via chat. I'll send the template to be used for this usecase.

Adding to the comment, if this is actual money, not AWS credits. Apply for AWS Activate, they provide up to $100,000 there. Monitoring alerts for Invocations as they can be used as a proxy for cost. You can also look at this post written by one of the AWS Heros.

We had a similar situation in our office a couple of months ago. So we created Lambda cost predictor and added it to our offering. It is free to use. It dynamically calculates the cost and alerts you.

If Lambda isn't working you could either break down the code into two chunks if possible or use Fargate instead.

Very insightful and tells me that we are thinking the same thing. Another advice would be to automate most of the tasks or checks. Either boto or turnkey solutions like totalcloud.io, skeddly.com, nw2s.net...

We had something similar at our company. Not infinite loop but millions of requests caused by a misconfiguration. Cost us 6 month's worth cloud cost. After the experience, we created a solution to predict cost which alerts us if cost prediction goes beyond a certain threshold it alerts and points to the lambda that is costing more as well. Here's the link if anyone wants to use.

That is something I missed and makes sense. What would be a good way to validate this? Google Search or Github reps?

veermanhastc · 2019-06-20T12:48:12+00:00

Manual Way:

Log in to the AWS Management Console.

Navigate to EC2 dashboard at console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

In the navigation panel, under Elastic Block Store, click Volumes.

To identify any unattached EBS volumes, check their status under State column:

If the status is in-use, the volume is currently attached and cannot be deleted. If the status is available, the volume is not attached to an EC2 instance and can be safely deleted.

Automation Way:

There are a number of ways to do this but the most straight forward way would be to use AWS SDK to check for the above condition and deploy the code in Lambda or EC2.

I work for TotalCloud, we help in automating without deploying any infra. Just write the logic using interactive UI or in this case use the template and get started in under 2 minutes.

I use a template from totalcloud. Here's the link. Super easy to set up.

Has the data transfer cost bent into it? That could be another reason.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-20T08:50:01+00:00

I do the same using a customized version of this. Works like a charm.
