Pipeline: Correct one VPC NAT gateway if unused

Overview

NAT gateways are charged per hour once they are provisioned and available, so unused gateways should be deleted to prevent costs.

This pipeline allows you to specify a single unused NAT gateway and then either sends a notification or attempts to perform a predefined corrective action.

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

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run aws_thrifty.pipeline.correct_one_vpc_nat_gateway_if_unused \
  --arg 'title=<string>' \
  --arg 'nat_gateway_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_vpc_nat_gateway_if_unused  
  args = {
    title = <string>
    nat_gateway_id = <string>
    region = <string>
    conn = <connection.aws>
  }
}
