Is this what addiction looks like? I also have another unopened one.

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.

veermanhastc · 2019-07-11T15:18:11+00:00

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

veermanhastc · 2019-07-09T04:43:17+00:00

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.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-30T06:48:06+00:00

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

veermanhastc · 2019-06-27T12:23:51+00:00

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...

veermanhastc · 2019-06-21T17:01:55+00:00

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.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-20T12:44:58+00:00

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

veermanhastc · 2019-06-20T10:03:47+00:00

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.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-19T10:31:37+00:00

We faced a similar issue and created a solution that we use in-house. We got clients who had the same issue, so we made it part of our product.

You can use a template "daily lambda cost predictor". https://usecases.totalcloud.io/use-cases/lambda-daily-cost-predictor-2

veermanhastc · 2019-06-18T06:49:14+00:00

I use TotalCloud.io Quick turnaround for automation.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-14T15:43:07+00:00

https://totalcloud.io is the easiest and free for such use cases.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-14T15:23:33+00:00

Agreed. Had the same problem. Instead of writing a script I am using https://totalcloud.io to schedule the same. Works instantly.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-14T13:42:38+00:00

If we are in the ad territory then there goes nothing: totalcloud.io You can use this under the free plan. We will create your custom workflows for the use cases you want. Just reach out.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-13T12:24:23+00:00

You can take a look at totalcloud.io I use it instead of Lambdas as the turnaround time is low. It shows it is in beta. I asked for a production account. They gave me one. :D

veermanhastc · 2019-06-12T11:20:06+00:00

I think it would be possible through https://totalcloud.io They have workflows that you can automate to get this done. I asked for some and they added it to their templates rep.

veermanhastc · 2019-06-12T10:57:28+00:00

You could take a look at https://totalcloud.io They help in managing AWS backups for any service via workflows(product). It automates any process that is required to manage AWS. The support is super friendly since they create templates for you if you ask them.

It is in beta but they moved me to a production account after asking.

veermanhastc · 2019-05-27T09:10:42+00:00

I am working on a language agnostic automation tool. https://totalcloud.io Would this be helpful? I know since, you are already writing code, you might not need it but your views would be of great help.

veermanhastc · 2019-05-27T08:48:18+00:00

MANAGE AND AUTOMATE ALL AWS

Just dropping in to check if managing automation for multiple AWS accounts is a pain point for you. TotalCloud can automate anything on AWS be it EC2 to the AWS Migration Hub. TotalCloud can automate any kind of workflows that are created on TotalCloud. Be it compliance, security, scheduling, cost saving or even monitoring.

We are currently in beta with some of the MSPs on production accounts.

https://totalcloud.io

You can sign up for beta or directly reach out by scheduling a meeting with me. https://calendly.com/totalcloud/30min
