Correct EC2 instances without graviton

Overview

EC2 instances without graviton processor incur cost over time, with graviton processor (arm64 - 64-bit ARM architecture), you can save money in two ways: First, your instances run more efficiently due to the Graviton architecture. Second, you pay less for the time that they run. In fact, EC2 instances powered by Graviton are designed to deliver up to 19 percent better performance at 20 percent lower cost.

This pipeline allows you to specify a collection of EC2 instances without the graviton processor and then either sends notifications or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action upon the collection.

While this pipeline can be used independently, it is typically invoked from either:

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_ec2_instances_without_graviton \
--arg 'items=<list of object>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_ec2_instances_without_graviton
args = {
items = <list of object>
}
}
