Pipeline: Correct one EC2 instance large

Overview

EC2 instances can be quite costly to retain, it is also likely that after a certain point in time they're no longer required and should be cleaned up to prevent further costs. Large EC2 instances are unusual, expensive and should be reviewed.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single large EC2 instance and then either send a notification or attempt to perform a predefined corrective action.

Whilst it is possible to utilise this pipeline standalone, it is usually called from the correct_ec2_instances_large pipeline.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_ec2_instance_large \
  --arg 'title=<string>' \
  --arg 'instance_id=<string>' \
  --arg 'region=<string>' \
  --arg 'conn=<connection.aws>'

Use this pipeline

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

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_ec2_instance_large  
  args = {
    title = <string>
    instance_id = <string>
    region = <string>
    conn = <connection.aws>
  }
}
